Objective:To investigate the sensitivity of tumor organoids derived from samples of colorectal cancer to lobaplatin and oxaliplatin hyperthermic perfusion in vitro and to assist clinical development of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Method:Tumor samples and relevant clinical data were collected from patients with pathologically confirmed colorectal cancer in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from July 2021 to December 2022. Organoids were cultured and tumor tissue were passaged. In vitro hyperthermic perfusion experiments were performed on organoids with good viability. Firstly, 10 organoids were treated with oxaliplatin and lobaplatin at the following six concentrations: 1 000, 250, 62.5, 15.6, 3.9, and 0.98 μmol/L. The organoids were exposed to oxaliplatin at 42℃ for 30 minutes and to lobaplatin at 42℃ for 60 minutes. Dose-response curves of responses to in vitro hyperthermic perfusion with these two drugs were constructed and evaluated. Clinical doses of oxaliplatin and lobaplatin were further tested on 30 organoids. This testing revealed oxaliplatin was effective at 579 μmol/L at a hyperthermic perfusion temperature of 42℃ for 30 min and lobaplatin was effective at 240 μmol/L at a hyperthermic perfusion temperature of 42℃ for 60 minutes. Result:Thirty-two tumor organoids were cultured from samples of colorectal cancer. The median concentration required for oxaliplatin to eliminate 50% of tumor cells (IC50) was 577.45 μmol/L (IQR: 1846.09 μmol/L). The median IC50 for lobaplatin was 85.04 μmol/L (IQR: 305.01 μmol/L).The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant ( Z=1.784, P=0.084). In seven of 10 organoids, lobaplatin showed a greater IC50 after in vitro hyperthermic perfusion than did oxaliplatin. Testing of 30 organoids with clinical doses of oxaliplatin and lobaplatin revealed that oxaliplatin achieved an average inhibition rate of 39.6% (95%CI: 32.1%?47.0%), whereas the average rate of inhibition for lobaplatin was 89.7% (95%CI: 87.0%?92.3%): this difference is statistically significant ( t=?15.282, P<0.001). Conclusion:The rate of inhibition achieved by hyperthermic perfusion of lobaplatin in vitro is better than that achieved by hyperthermic perfusion with oxaliplatin. Lobaplatin is more effective than oxaliplatin when administered by hyperthermic intraperitoneal perfusion and therefore has the potential to replace oxaliplatin in this setting.

Objective:To investigate the status and willingness of information disclosure based on social supervision in tertiary and secondary public hospitals, so as to provide reference for expanding information disclosure content.Methods:By using stratified cluster random sampling method, 66 tertiary public hospitals and 126 secondary public hospitals in 6 provinces were selected for questionnaire survey in April 2021. Thirty-one indicators in 3 categories and 5 groups were selected to obtain the information disclosure status and willingness. Chi-square test, variance analysis and paired t-test were used to conduct difference analysis. Results:The indicators with higher disclosure rates in public hospitals were drug prices and medical service price adjustments (93.9% in tertiary hospitals and 92.1% in secondary hospitals) and medical insurance reimbursement policies and compensation processes (90.9% in tertiary hospitals and 86.5% in secondary hospitals), while the indicators with lower disclosure rates were case fatality rates in low-risk groups (24.2% in tertiary hospitals and 26.2% in secondary hospitals), proportion of special needs medical services (27.3% in tertiary hospitals), and average daily outpatient visits per practitioner (27.3% in tertiary hospitals and 26.2% in secondary hospitals). The indicators that public hospitals thought could be disclosed at a higher rate were drug and medical service price adjustments, medical insurance reimbursement policies and compensation processes, and prices and medical insurance reimbursement of commonly used drugs and major medical consumables, while the indicators that were thought to be disclosed at a lower rate were some medical service safety indicators and hospital financial indicators.For all indicators, the percentage that the hospitals thought could be disclosed was higher than the percentage that had been disclosed.Conclusions:At present, China′s secondary and tertiary public hospitals have a low rate of disclosure about medical service efficiency, medical service safety, statistical summary cost and financial indicators. However, except for some medical service indicators and financial related indicators, the hospitals′ information disclosure willingness is relatively high, and the scope of information disclosure can be expanded in an orderly manner in steps.

Objective:To construct a biospecimen bank of patient derived organoids (PDOs) from pancreatic cancer tissues and to explore the feasibility of PDOs drug sensitivity assay technology to guide chemotherapy drug selection for pancreatic cancer.Methods:Pancreatic cancer tissue specimens obtained after surgical resection and puncture biopsy from Mar 2020 to Dec 2022 at Drum Tower Hospital, Nanjing University School of Medicine were collected. Pancreatic cancer PDOs were cultured in vitro and histologically identified; PDOs were treated with gemcitabine, Nab-paclitaxel, fluorouracil, Oxaliplatin, and Irinotecan and cell viability was measured to analyze the correlation between PDOs drug sensitivity and the actual clinical treatment response.Results:The PDOs can reproduce the pathological features of corresponding tumor tissues; the sensitivity of different PDOs to the same chemotherapeutic drug is significantly different; The sensitivity of PDOs was highly consistent with the actual treatment effect of the corresponding patients 75.76% (25/33); organoid organ-based susceptibility testing had predictive value for the treatment response of patients (AUC=0.733, 95% CI: 0.546-0.919, P<0.05). Conclusion:A biobank of pancreatic cancer PDOs was successfully constructed, and the drug susceptibility test results were significantly correlated with the actual medication response of patients, suggesting that the drug susceptibility test technology based on PDOs has the potential to guide individualized chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer.

Objective:To study characteristics of changes in the demand for emergency medical services during epidemic prevention and control "10 new measures" in Zhejiang province.Methods:The data of 26 emergency centers connected to the provincial integration platform of Zhejiang Province (hereinafter referred to as "provincial platform" ) were retrospectively analyzed, and the data were collected from one week before the implementation of "10 new measures" to the sixth week after implementation (December 1, 2022 to January 18, 2023). The collected information included: the number of 120 calls and ambulance services, the types of disease, age composition of patients, performance of emergency medical services.Results:From the second week of the implementation of "10 new measures" (December 15 to 21, 2022), the number of 120 calls and ambulance services were increased rapidly, and the peak occurred in the third week of implementation (December 21 to 28, 2022). Among the types of diseases, the number and proportion of patients with abnormal symptoms and respiratory diseases increased significantly, reaching the highest peak in the third week (December 21 to 28, 2022) and the fourth week (December 29, 2022 to January 4, 2023) of implementation, respectively. After the second week of implementation, the number of elderly patients aged 71 to 100 increased significantly, reaching a peak in the fourth week (December 29, 2022 to January 4, 2023), accounting for 60.76% of the total. During the epidemic period, the quality control indicators such as emergency dispatch time, ambulance dispatch time and medical treatment all fluctuated, but the changes were not significant.Conclusions:During the implementation of epidemic prevention and control "10 new measures", there were obvious characteristic changes in the demand for pre-hospital emergency in Zhejiang Province, but the quality of pre-hospital emergency medical was basically stable.

Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of dental autotransplantation with the application of digital design combined with 3D printing of donor tooth models and recipient alveolar fossa model preoperatively. Methods: Twelve cases that could not be retained due to tooth fracture or extensive absorption of alveolar bone were recruited in the study. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data were imported into Mimics software for digital design, and the best-matched third molar was selected as the donor tooth. Replicas of the donor teeth and the recipient socket were printed out with three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies as a simulation model for recipient tooth socket preparation. During tooth autotransplantation, preparation of the recipient tooth socket and the donor tooth were guided by the 3D-printed replicas sequentially. Then, the donor tooth was implanted into the recipient tooth pocket. Patients were followed up at 3, 6 and 12 months after the operation, with CBCT examination to evaluate the status of bone reconstruction and periodontal ligaments at each time point. Results: Twelve patients were transplanted with an autogenous third molar with the apical foramen completely closed. Among them, 7 patients had alveolar fossa infection before the operation, of which 1 had extensive resorption of the alveolar bone due to the infection. All 12 patients recovered well after the operation and were followed up for at least 12 months. In total, 11 caseswere successful in tooth autotransplantation with normal mastication, and 1 case had root resorption 14 months postoperation. Conclusion Digital design combined with 3D printing technology can assistin the selection of thebest-matched donor tooth and preparation of the recipient socket before tooth transplantation proceduresand reduce the extra-alveolar exposure time of the donor tooth and number of trial placementsintothe alveolar fossa. Thus, this combined strategy can effectively improve the outcome of dental autotransplantation.

Objective:To explore the effect of attentional bias training on the attentional bias, psychological craving and relapse rate of alcohol dependent patients during rehabilitation.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was used to select 90 alcohol-dependent patients and randomly divide them into an intervention group and a control group. The alcohol cue pictures and neutral pictures were imported into E-Prime software at a ratio of 1∶1.The patients in the two groups were trained for eight times with attentional bias and without attentional bias by point delection paradigm. After each training, the software automatically records the response time and correct rate of the cue pictures and neutral pictures, and before intervention(T0), after 4 interventions(T4), and after 8 interventions(T8), the alcohol craving score was assessed by visual analogue scale and the relapse situation was followed up 1 month after the intervention. SPSS 24.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Repeat measure ANOVA, χ2 test and t-test were used to compare the response time, accuracy and psychological craving of the two groups. Results:Repeated measurement analysis of variance showed that there were interaction between group and time in cue-map response time, line chart accuracy and psychological craving score of the two groups ( F=5.218, 6.939, 147.14, all P<0.01). Simple effect analysis showed that there was no significant difference in cue pictures response time, cue pictures accuracy and psychological craving score between the intervention group and the control group at T0(all P>0.05), but there was significant difference at T4 and T8 (all P<0.05), and there was significant difference in neutral pictures reaction only at T8 ( P<0.05). The comparison between two groups showed that the intervention group showed a downward trend in cue pictures response, T4 and T8 were lower than T0, with statistical difference (both P<0.001), while there was no difference in the control group. In the intervention group, the correct rate of cue pictures increased, T4 and T8 were higher than T0, and there were statistical differences (both P<0.001), while there was no difference in the control group( P>0.05). The psychological craving scores of both the intervention group and the control group showed a downward trend, T4 and T8 were lower than T0, there were statistical differences (both P<0.001), but the difference between T4 and T8 in the control group remained unchanged. One month after the end of the intervention, the difference in the rate of relapse between the intervention group and the control group was marginal (11.10%, 26.70%, P=0.059). The total number of days of abstinence in the intervention group was longer than that in the control group ((28.33±4.99)d, (26.47±6.66)d, P=0.010). Conclusion:Attentional bias training can improve the mental craving and attentional bias of alcohol-dependent patients during the rehabilitation period, and the relapse rate decreased one month after the intervention.

Constraint-based genome-scale metabolic network models (genome-scale metabolic models, GEMs) have been widely used to predict metabolic phenotypes. In addition to stoichiometric constraints, other constraints such as enzyme availability and thermodynamic feasibility may also limit the cellular phenotype solution space. Recently, extended GEM models considering either enzymatic or thermodynamic constraints have been developed to improve model prediction accuracy. This review summarizes the recent progresses on metabolic models with multiple constraints (MCGEMs). We presented the construction methods and various applications of MCGEMs including the simulation of gene knockout, prediction of biologically feasible pathways and identification of bottleneck steps. By integrating multiple constraints in a consistent modeling framework, MCGEMs can predict the metabolic bottlenecks and key controlling and modification targets for pathway optimization more precisely, and thus may provide more reliable design results to guide metabolic engineering of industrially important microorganisms.

Objective:To investigate the effect of a breathing pattern intervention (RPI) on the oral feeding of pre-term infants with suck-swallow-breath (SSwB) coordination disorder.Methods:Sixty pre-term infants with SSwB coordination disorder were divided into an observation group ( n=30) and a control group ( n=30) using a random number table. Both groups were given routine feeding training, including oral exercise intervention, non-nutritive sucking training, and swallowing induction training during nursing, while the observation group was additionally provided with 15 minutes of breathing pattern training once a day, including breathing pattern observation, resistive breathing training prior to eating and passive breathing pattern intervention during eating. Before and after the 7-day intervention, the Pre-term Infant Oral Feeding Readiness Assessment (PIOFRA) was used to evaluate each subject′s oral feeding ability. Rate of transfer (RT), proficiency (PRO), minimum oxygen partial pressure (SaO 2) and SaO 2 fluctuations were also recorded during the feeding process. Results:After 1 week of the intervention, significant improvement was observed in both groups. In the observation group the average RT (2.76±0.36ml/min), PRO, minimum SaO 2, the number of SaO 2 fluctuations, and PIOFRA score (33.28±0.58) were all significantly better than the control group′s averages. Conclusion:Breathing pattern intervention based on routine feeding training can enhance breathing coordination during swallowing and ultimately improve the oral feeding of pre-term infants with SSwB coordination disorders in a relatively short period of time.

Objective:To investigate the definition and influencing factors of early recurrence after resection for synchronous colorectal cancer liver metastases (sCRLM).Methods:Patients with sCRLM in Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from December 2008 to December 2016 were included. Restricted cubic spline was used to determine the correlations between the time of recurrence and the long-term prognosis. The univariable and multivariable Cox was performed to measure the feasibility of recurrence within 6 months as the early recurrence. Then apply logistic regression, support vector machine, decision tree, random forest, artificial neural network and XGBoost, these machine learning algorithm to comprehensively rank the importance of every clinicopathological variable to early recurrence, and according to the comprehensively ranks, we introduced variables into the multivariable logistic regression model and observed the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of the logistic regression model, based on the ROC area under curve, Akaike information criterion, and Bayesian information criterion, we identified the best performed variable combination and introduced them into the multivariate logistic regression analysis to confirm the independent risk factors for early recurrence. Subsequently, inverse probability weighting (IPTW) was performed on the therapy-associated independent risk factor to evaluate and validate its influence on the early recurrence of sCRLM patients after reducing the standardized mean difference of all covariates.Results:A total of 228 sCRLM patients who received resection were enrolled and followed up from 2.10 to 108.57 months. There were 142 males and 86 females, aged (55.89±0.67) years old. In 170 (74.6%) patients with recurrence, restricted cube analysis determined that the hazard ratio (HR) of disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) satisfies a linear relationship ( P<0.05), and Cox analysis indicated that 6 months as the time cutoff for defining early recurrence was feasible ( HR=3.405, 95% CI: 2.098-5.526, P<0.05). Early recurrence was occurred in 93 (40.79%) patients. The survival rate of patients in early recurrence group was significantly lower than that in the late recurrence group ( HR=3.405, 95% CI: 2.098-5.526, P<0.05, and the 5-year survival rate was 14.0% vs 52.0%). Comprehensive analysis of 6 machine learning algorithms identified that the total number of lymph node dissection >22 ( OR=0.258, 95% CI: 0.132-0.506, P<0.05) is an independent protective factor for early recurrence, while the number of liver metastases>3 ( OR=4.715, 95% CI: 2.467-9.011, P<0.05) and postoperative complications ( OR=2.334, 95% CI: 1.269-4.291, P<0.05) are independent risk factors. Finally, the IPTW analysis fully reduced the influence of covariate confounding influence via causal inference to prove lymph node dissection associated with early recurrence (IPTW OR=0.29, P<0.05), benefiting the DFS (IPTW HR=0.4887, P<0.05), but without influence on OS (IPTW HR=0.6951, P>0.05). Conclusion:Six months after sCRLM as the definition of early recurrence, it has significant feasibility. The long-term survival of patients with early recurrence is poor. The independent influencing factors of early recurrence after sCRLM are the total number of lymph node dissection, the number of liver metastases and postoperative complications disease.
