Objective To explore the value of biparametric magnetic resonance imaging(bp-MRI)radiomics models in noninvasive prediction of high-risk prostate cancer.Methods A total of 320 patients with pathologically confirmed prostate cancer were retro-spectively selected,and all patients underwent bp-MRI before pathology,including T2WI and diffusion weighted imaging(DWI).Appar-ent diffusion coefficient(ADC)maps were extracted from DWI.All patients were divided into high-risk(Gleason score≥8)and medium-low risk(Gleason score ≤7)groups based on the Gleason score.Using 3D Slicer software,the entire prostate gland was outlined.Python software was used to calculate parameters,and the minimum redundancy maximum correlation and sequence back-ward elimination algorithms were used to extract and select radiomics features and to build a model.Three radiomics(T2 WI,DWI,ADC)models were constructed and verified by logistic regression(LR).The performance of the model was evaluated by area under the curve(AUC)of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,specificity(SP),sensitivity(SE),and accuracy(ACC).An indi-vidual prediction model was established via the clinical data of 224 patients and bp-MRI features,and validated via the data of 96 patients.Results A total of 1 165 radiomics features were extracted.After feature screening,2,4 and 6 radiomics features were screened out to construct T2WI model,DWI model and ADC model for predicting high-risk prostate cancer.All radiomics models had significant predictive performance in identifying medium-low risk and high-risk groups(P＜0.05).The DWI model had the highest predictive value,and the AUC,ACC,SE,and SP in the training group were 0.814,0.756,0.838,and 0.744,respectively.The AUC,ACC,SE,and SP in the verification group were 0.840,0.756,0.848,and 0.784,respectively.Conclusion Radiomics based on bp-MRI can better identify medium-low risk and high-risk prostate cancer before surgery.

Objective:To explore the regulatory role of miR-210 in hypoxia-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of pancreatic cancer PANC1 cells.Methods:PANC1 cells cultured in normoxia and hypoxia were established in normoxia group and hypoxia group. Recombinant plasmid carrrying miR-210 mimics and miR-210 antagomirs were constructed. The recombinant plasmids were transfected with PANC1 cells cultured in normoxia and hypoxia by liposome method to establish cell lines of miR-210 overexpression (miR-210 mimics normoxia group) and miR-210 expression inhibition (miR-210 antagomirs hypoxia group). The blank plasmids were transfected to establish blank plasmid normoxia group and blank plasmid hypoxia group. Relative expression levels of miR-210 for PANC1 cells were determined by qRT-PCR in each group. Western blot was used to measure the expressions of HIF-1α, NF-κB and EMT related protein such as E-cadherin, β-catenin, vimentin and N-cadherin. Cell relative viability under gemcitabine and in vitro cell invasion ability were detected by CCK8 and Transwell chamber experiments, respectively. Results:The relative expressions of miR-210 in hypoxia group and miR-210 mimics normoxia group were significantly higher than those in normoxia group and blank plasmid normoxia group. However, there were significantly lower in miR-210 antagomirs hypoxia group than those in blank plasmid hypoxia group. The expression levels of HIF-1α, NF-κB and mesenchymal cell markers such as vimentin and N-cadherin in hypoxia group were significantly higher than those in normoxia group (0.74±0.06 vs 0.40±0.05, 1.58±0.16 vs 1.09±0.13, 0.46±0.04 vs 0.17±0.02, 1.27±0.07 vs 0.40±0.03) and the epithelial cell markers such as E-cadherin and β-catenin were significantly lower (0.40±0.07 vs 0.77±0.10, 0.35±0.02 vs 0.94±0.08). The expression levels of HIF-1α, NF-κB, vimentin and N-cadherin in miR-210 mimics normoxia group were significantly higher than those in blank plasmid normoxia group (0.91±0.08 vs 0.40±0.06, 1.52±0.17 vs 1.05±0.14, 0.82±0.06 vs 0.66±0.07, 0.76±0.04 vs 0.46±0.03) and E-cadherin and β-catenin were significantly lower (0.38±0.07 vs 0.65±0.09, 0.50±0.03 vs 0.94±0.08). The expression levels of HIF-1α, NF-κB, vimentin and N-cadherin in miR-210 antagomirs hypoxia group were significantly lower than those in blank plasmid hypoxia group (0.31±0.05 vs 0.55±0.06, 0.68±0.05 vs 1.11±0.13, 0.41±0.03 vs 0.74±0.07, 0.69±0.06 vs 0.78±0.05), while E-cadherin and β-catenin were significantly higher (0.72±0.13 vs 0.50±0.07, 0.71±0.04 vs 0.54±0.05). All the differences among the groups were statistically significant (all P value <0.05). Under gemcitabine, the relative viability of PANC1 cells in hypoxia group and miR-210 mimics normoxia group were significantly higher than those in normoxia group and blank plasmid normoxia group at 48 h (1.10±0.10 vs 0.76±0.05, 1.46±0.11 vs 1.12±0.09) and 72 h (1.12±0.13 vs 0.76±0.05, 1.54±0.13 vs 1.12±0.09) accordingly. However, there were significantly lower in miR-210 antagomirs hypoxia group than those in blank plasmid hypoxia group at 48 and 72 h (0.75±0.09 vs 1.10±0.10, 1.19±0.12 vs 1.46±0.11). All the differences among the groups were statistically significant (all P value <0.05). The number of transmembrane cells in hypoxia group and miR-210 mimics normoxia group was significantly higher than those in normoxia group and blank plasmid normoxia group, respectively (417.50±81.22 vs 228.30±47.71, 371.30±72.81 vs 245.00±33.62 per high field), while those in miR-210 antagomirs hypoxia group was significantly lower than those in blank plasmid hypoxia group (228.30±54.01 vs 433.30±65.63 per high field). All the differences among the groups were statistically significant (all P value <0.05). Conclusions:miR-210 could weaken the sensitivity to gemcitabine and promote the invasion of PANC1 cells by regulating the occurrence of the hypoxia-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

OBJECTIVE: The mode of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission via injection drug use (IDU) still exists, and the recent shift in IDU-related transmission of HIV infection is largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to analyze the spatiotemporal sources and dynamics of HIV-1 transmission through IDU in Guangxi. METHODS: We performed a molecular epidemiological investigation of infections across Guangxi from 2009 to 2019. Phylogenetic and Bayesian time-geographic analyses of HIV-1 sequences were performed to confirm the characteristics of transmission between IDUs in combination with epidemiological data. RESULTS: Among the 535 subjects, CRF08_BC (57.4%), CRF01_AE (28.4%), and CRF07_BC (10.7%) were the top 3 HIV strains; 72.6% of infections were linked to other provinces in the transmission network; 93.6% of sequence-transmitted strains were locally endemic, with the rest coming from other provinces, predominantly Guangdong and Yunnan; 92.1% of the HIV transmission among people who inject drugs tended to be transmitted between HIV-positive IDUs. CONCLUSION HIV recombinants were high diversity, and circulating local strains were the transmission sources among IDUs in Guangxi. However, there were still cases of IDUs linked to other provinces. Coverage of traditional prevention strategies should be expanded, and inter-provincial collaboration between Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guangdong provinces should be strengthened.

Objective To analyze the genetic subtypes of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the prevalence of pretreatment drug resistance in the newly reported HIV-infected men in Guangxi. Methods The stratified random sampling method was employed to select the newly reported HIV-infected men aged≥50 years old in 14 cities of Guangxi from January to June in 2020.The pol gene of HIV-1 was amplified by nested reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and then sequenced.The mutation sites associated with drug resistance and the degree of drug resistance were then analyzed. Results A total of 615 HIV-infected men were included in the study.The genetic subtypes of CRF01_AE,CRF07_BC,and CRF08_BC accounted for 57.4% (353/615),17.1% (105/615),and 22.4% (138/615),respectively.The mutations associated with the resistance to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI),non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI),and protease inhibitors occurred in 8 (1.3%),18 (2.9%),and 0 patients,respectively.M184V (0.7%) and K103N (1.8%) were the mutations with the highest occurrence rates for the resistance to NRTIs and NNRTIs,respectively.Twenty-two (3.6%) patients were resistant to at least one type of inhibitors.Specifically,4 (0.7%),14 (2.3%),4 (0.7%),and 0 patients were resistant to NRTIs,NNRTIs,both NRTIs and NNRTIs,and protease inhibitors,respectively.The pretreatment resistance to NNRTIs had much higher frequency than that to NRTIs (2.9% vs.1.3%;χ²=3.929,P=0.047).The prevalence of pretreatment resistance to lamivudine,zidovudine,tenofovir,abacavir,rilpivirine,efavirenz,nevirapine,and lopinavir/ritonavir was 0.8%, 0.3%, 0.7%, 1.0%, 1.3%, 2.8%, 2.9%, and 0, respectively. Conclusions CRF01_AE,CRF07_BC,and CRF08_BC are the three major strains of HIV-infected men≥50 years old newly reported in Guangxi,2020,and the pretreatment drug resistance demonstrates low prevalence.

Objective:To investigate the techniques used in blood flow control of Kimura laparoscopic spleen-preserving pancreatectomy (LSPDP).Methods:Forty·five patients with benign or low-grade malignant pancreatic diseases undergoing LSPDP at Huzhou Central Hospital from May 2014 to Oct 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were divided into splenic vascular flow control group ( n=22) and routine management group ( n=23). Results:There was no significant difference in gender, age, BMI, accompanying symptoms, hypertension, diabetes, lesion size and pathological diagnosis between the two groups (all P>0.05). A higher overall spleen preservation rate (90.9% vs. 52.2%, χ2=8.213, P=0.004), lower incidence of morbidity with Clavien grade ≥ Ⅱ (22.7% vs. 73.9%, χ2=9.911, P=0.002) and shorter postoperative hospital stay [(9.6±4.5) d vs. (14.3±6.6) d, t=2.447, P=0.008] were achieved in the vascular flow control group compared with those in the routine group. Conclusion:Splenic vascular flow control techniques improve the success rate of spleen preservation in laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy, reduce the postoperative complications and shorten the postoperative hospital stay.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of bendamustine monotherapy in Chinese patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) .Methods:This prospective, multicenter, open label, single-arm, phase Ⅱ study investigated bendamustine’s efficacy and safety in Chinese patients with R/R B-NHL. A total of 78 patients with B-NHL in 11 hospitals in China from March 2012 to December 2016 were included, and their clinical characteristics, efficacy, and survival were analyzed.Results:The median age of all patients was 58 (range, 24-76) years old, and 69 (88.4% ) patients had stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ disease. 61 (78.2% ) patients were refractory to previous treatments. Patients received a median of 4 (range, 1-10) cycles of bendamustine treatment. The overall response rate was 61.5 (95% CI 49.8-72.3) % , the median response duration was 8.3 (95% CI 5.5-14.0) months, and the complete remission (CR) rate was 5.1 (95% CI 1.4-12.6) % . In the full analysis set, median progression-free survival (PFS) and median OS were 8.7 (95% CI 6.7-13.2) months and 25.5 months (95% CI 14.2 months to not reached) , respectively, after a median follow-up of 33.6 (95% CI 17.4-38.8) months. Lymphopenia (74.4% ) , neutropenia (52.6% ) , and leukopenia (39.7% ) , thrombocytopenia (29.5% ) and anemia (15.4% ) were the most common grade 3-4 hematologic adverse events (AE) . The most frequent non-hematologic AEs included nausea (43.6% ) , vomiting (33.3% ) , and anorexia (29.5% ) . Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that <4 cycles of bendamustine treatment was a poor prognostic factor for PFS ( P=0.003) , and failure to accept fludarabine containing regimen was a poor prognostic factor for OS ( P=0.009) . Conclusion:Bendamustine monotherapy has good efficacy and safety in the treatment of patient with R/R B-NHL.

Objective : To compare the accuracies of implants with dynamic real-time navigation versus digital guide navigation to provide a reference for clinical precision dental implants. Methods: Forty-six cases (seventy teeth) with missing teeth admitted to the Department of Stomatology, Wuzhou Red Cross Hospital from April 2018 to December 2019 were randomly divided into two groups (thirty-five teeth in each group) for dynamic real-time navigation and digital guide navigation implantation techniques. To compare the entry point, apex point, depth and angle deviation of the preoperative and postoperative position of implants in the two groups. SPSS 21.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results : Dental implants were successfully placed in both groups. The deviations of apex point, depth and angle in the dynamic real-time navigation group were all smaller than those in the digital guide navigation group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant deviation in the entry point between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion In this study, both techniques had good clinical effects. The accuracy of dynamic real-time navigation was higher than that of digital guidance.
