Objective To investigate the vaccination status and vaccination willingness of novel coronavirus in HIV/AIDS population in Yunnan.Methods From October 2021 to June 2022,a questionnaire survey was conducted among 2180 HIV/AIDS patients in Kunming,Qujing,Yuxi,Zhaotong,Puer,Baoshan,Lincang,Honghe,Wenshan,Xishuangbanna,Dali,Dehong and Nujiang prefectures.The questionnaire included age,sex,education,nationality,education level,vaccination,adverse reactions within 7 days after the vaccination,safety of COVID-19 vaccine,awareness of effectiveness,vaccination willingness and so on.Results Among the subjects,2109 completed 3 injections,accounting for 96.74%,and 71 were not vaccinated,accounting for 3.26% .Within 7 days of inoculation,local adverse reactions occurred in 116 cases,accounting for 5.50%,and systemic adverse reactions occurred in 56 cases,accounting for 2.66% .Injection site pain,fatigue and muscle pain accounted for the highest proportion of adverse symptoms in different sex,age and the Han nationality,while the proportion of minority adverse reactions was very low,and there was no difference among the different sex and age(P>0.05).The main reasons for the reluctance of HIV/AIDS population to be vaccinated were(recommended by doctors)that HIV/AIDS patients could not be vaccinated(67.61%)and may have serious adverse reactions after the vaccination(19.72%).The factors affecting the vaccination were found by logistic regression analysis,whether they were worried about infecting novel coronavirus(OR = 0.121,95% CI = 0.083～0.640,P<0.001)and how much they knew about COVID-19 vaccine(OR = 28.932,95% CI = 15.469～54.115,P<0.001),safety of vaccination(OR = 13.953,95% CI = 4.819～40.404,P<0.001)and belief in the preventive effect of vaccine(OR = 14.017,95% CI = 4.752～41.348,P<0.001)were significant factors affecting vaccination.Among the 13 prefectures and cities,Dehong(20),Zhaotong(21)and Lincang(14)had the largest number of unvaccinated people.Conclusion After the mass vaccination,the rate of adverse reaction in HIV/AIDS population is low,the symptoms are mild,the correct and scientific advice and guidance from doctors and the full understanding of the harmfulness of the disease,the safety,prevention and effectiveness of the vaccine are the key to complete vaccination and put an end to vaccine hesitancy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of kinesin family member 15 （KIF15） on the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） cells and its mechanism of action. MethodsTCGA and GEPIA datasets were analyzed to determine the expression of KIF15 in HCC and its effect on tumor stage and survival. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot were used to measure the expression level of KIF15 in human-derived HCC cell lines （HepG2， Hep3B， MHCC-97H， and LM3） and human normal liver cell line L02 cultured in vitro， and Hep3B and HepG2 were selected for subsequent studies. CCK-8 assay， plate colony formation assay， and EdU staining were performed for Hep3B cells transfected with shRNA-NC or shRNA-KIF15 and HepG2 cells transfected with LV-vector or LV-KIF15 to evaluate the viability and proliferative capacity of these cells. GSEA was used to analyze the potential signaling pathways associated with KIF15 in HCC， and Western blot was used for detection. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups； a one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsThe analysis of TCGA and GEPIA datasets showed that in HCC patients， the expression of KIF15 in HCC tissue was significantly higher than that in normal tissue， and the HCC patients with high KIF15 expression tended to have a poorer prognosis. Compared with sh-NC-Hep3B， sh3-Hep3B showed significant reductions in the mRNA and protein levels of KIF15 （P<0.05）， cell viability， clone formation number， and EdU positive rate （all P<0.05）. Compared with vector-HepG2， LV-KIF15-HepG2 showed significant increases in the mRNA and protein levels of KIF15 （P<0.05）， cell viability， clone formation number， and EdU positive rate （all P<0.05）. Subcutaneous tumor assay showed that compared with sh-NC-Hep3B， sh3-Hep3B showed reductions in tumor volume and tumor weight， as well as a significant reduction in the immunohistochemical score of Ki67 and a significant increase in the immunohistochemical score of TUNEL （P<0.05）. GSEA analysis showed that the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway was positively correlated with KIF15 in HCC （NES=1.59， P<0.001）. Western blot showed that LY294002 could inhibit the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway upregulated in LV-KIF15-HepG2， and compared with LV-KIF15-HepG2， LY294002+LV-KIF15-HepG2 showed significant reductions in cell viability， clone formation number， and EdU positive rate （all P<0.05）. ConclusionKIF15 enhances the viability and proliferative capacity of HCC cells by upregulating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum metabolites in patients with occupational chronic lead poisoning using non-targeted metabolomics, and to screen differential metabolic pathways. Methods A total of 14 patients with occupational chronic lead poisoning were selected as the poisoning group, and 14 healthy people without occupational hazard exposure history were selected as the control group using the judgment sampling method. Serum of the individuals from the two groups was collected. Non-targeted metabolomics technology based on ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to detect serum metabolite levels in the two groups. Differential metabolites (DMs) were screened by the principal component analysis, partial least squares discriminant analysis and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis, and related metabolic pathways were explored. Results The blood lead level in the poisoning group was higher than that in the control group (median: 359.59 vs 5.04 μg/L, P<0.01). There were significant differences in serum metabolites between the poisoning group and control group. After the combination of results from the positive and negative ion patterns, a total of 89 DMs were screened in serum of patients in the poisoning group, including 50 upregulated and 39 downregulated metabolites compared with the control group. The serum DMs of poisoning group were mainly enriched in arginine biosynthesis, ABC transporter, purine metabolism, choline metabolism in malignant tumor, glycerophospholipid metabolism and ether lipid metabolism compared with the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion Abnormal changes of serum metabolic profile occurred in patients with occupational chronic lead poisoning. The metabolic pathways such as arginine biosynthesis, ABC transporter, purine metabolism, choline metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism and ether lipid metabolism may be involved in the occurrence and development of lead poisoning.

Objective:To evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) of induction chemoimmunotherapy with camrelizumab plus TPF (docetaxel, cisplatin, and capecitabine) for locally advanced hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LA HSCC) and potential predictive factors for ORR.Methods:A single-center, prospective, phase 2 and single-arm trial was conducted for evaluating antitumor activity of camrelizumab+TPF(docetaxel+cisplatin+capecitabine) for LA HSCC between May 21, 2021 and April 15, 2023, patients admitted to the Eye & ENT Hospital affiliated with Fudan University. The primary endpoint was ORR, and enrolled patients with LA HSCC at T3-4N0-3M0 received induction chemoimmunotherapy for three cycles: camrelizumab 200 mg day 1, docetaxel 75 mg/m 2 day 1, cisplatin 25 mg/m 2 days 1-3, and capecitabine 800 mg/m 2 days 1-14. Patients were assigned to radioimmunotherapy when they had complete response or partial response (PR)>70% (Group A), or assigned to surgery plus adjuvant radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy when they had PR≤70% (Group B), and the responses were defined by using tumor volume evaluation system. Tumor diameter was also used to assess the treatment responses by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Use SPSS 23.0 software was used to analyze the data. Results:A total of 51 patients were enrolled who underwent the induced chemoimmunotherapy for three cycles, and all were males, aged 35-69 years old. After three cycles of induction immunochemotherapy, 42 (82.4%) patients existed in Group A (complete response or PR>70%) and 9 patients (17.6%) in Group B (PR≤70%), the ORR was 82.4%. The primary endpoint achieved expected main research objectives. Compared to the patients of Group A, the patients of Group B showed the higher T stage and the larger volume of primary tumor before induced immunochemotherapy, and also had the less regression of tumor volume after induced immunochemotherapy (all P<0.05). The optimal cutoff value of pre-treatment tumor volume for predicting ORR was 39 cm 3. The T stage ( OR=12.71, 95% CI: 1.4-112.5, P=0.022) and the volume ( OR=7.1, 95% CI: 1.4-36.8, P=0.018) of primary tumor were the two main factors affecting ORR rate of induction chemoimmunotherapy. Conclusion:The induction chemoimmunotherapy with camrelizumab plus TPF shows an encouraging antitumor efficacy in LA HSCC.

Objective:To analyze the impact of post-dialysis blood pressure (Post-BP) on the long-term survival prognosis of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and the related risk factors.Methods:It was a retrospective cohort study. The data of patients who underwent their first hemodialysis (HD) from January 1, 2007, to June 30, 2021, as recorded in the dialysis registration system of the Kidney Disease Center, the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine was retrospectively analyzed. The mean Post-BP was calculated for each HD session 4-6 months after hemodialysis. According to the mean value of post-dialysis diastolic pressure (Post-DBP) at 4-6 months after dialysis, patients were divided into 3 groups (Post-DBP<80 mmHg, 80 mmHg≤Post-DBP<90 mmHg, Post-DBP≥90 mmHg). According to whether the mean value of post-dialysis systolic pressure (Post-SBP) was ≥140 mmHg and whether the mean value of Post-DBP was ≥80 mmHg, patients were divided into 4 groups (Post-SBP<140 mmHg, Post-DBP≥80 mmHg; Post-SBP≥140 mmHg, Post-DBP≥80 mmHg; Post-SBP<140 mmHg, Post-DBP<80 mmHg; Post-SBP≥140 mmHg, Post-DBP<80 mmHg). Patients' first dialysis time was used as the starting point of follow-up, and the end point of follow-up was death or conversion to peritoneal dialysis or kidney transplantation or up to December 31, 2021. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, Log-rank test, and multivariate Cox regression model were used to analyze the relationship between Post-BP and survival rate and the related factors of prognosis in MHD patients.Results:According to inclusion criteria, a total of 1 213 patients were included. Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the long-term survival rate had statistically significant differences among Post-DBP<80 mmHg, 80 mmHg≤Post-DBP<90 mmHg and Post-DBP≥90 mmHg groups (Log-rank test, χ2=58.838, P<0.001), and Post-DBP<80 mmHg group was the lowest. Further comparing the cardiovascular diseases (CVD) mortality among the three groups, the curve showed a statistically significant difference (Log-rank test, χ2=27.926, P< 0.001), and the highest CVD mortality was found in the Post-DBP<80 mmHg group. Multivariate Cox regression model analysis showed that Post-DBP<80 mmHg was an independent associated factor for death in MHD patients (with Post-DBP mmHg≥90 group as reference, HR=4.197, 95% CI 1.452-12.197, P=0.008). When patients were divided into 4 groups according to whether the mean value of Post-SBP was ≥140 mmHg and whether the mean value of Post-DBP was ≥80 mmHg, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed a statistically significant difference in long-term survival rate among the four groups (Log-rank test, χ2=65.636, P<0.001), among which Post-SBP≥140 mmHg, Post-DBP<80 mmHg group had the lowest long-term survival rate. Further comparing the CVD mortality rate among the four groups, the curve showed a statistically significant difference (Log-rank test, χ2=29.784, P<0.001), and the highest CVD mortality rate was found in the Post-SBP≥140 mmHg, Post-DBP<80 mmHg group. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that regardless of whether the average Post-SBP was ≥140 mmHg, Post-DBP<80 mmHg was an independent associated factor for death in MHD patients(with Post-SBP<140 mmHg, Post-DBP≥80 mmHg group as reference, Post-SBP≥140 mmHg, Post-DBP<80 mmHg group: HR=3.416, 95% CI 1.294-9.019, P=0.013; Post-SBP<140 mmHg, Post-DBP<80 mmHg group: HR=3.574, 95% CI 1.451-8.802, P=0.006). Conclusions:The long-term survival rate of the group with Post-SBP≥140 mmHg and Post-DBP<80 mmHg is significantly lower. Post-DBP<80 mmHg is an independent risk factor for death in MHD patients regardless of whether the average Post-SBP is ≥140 mmHg.

Objective:To investigate the protective effects of a sunscreen lotion containing Calendula extracts on children′s skin against sun exposure, as well as to evaluate its safety and tolerability when applied to children.Methods:A single-center, randomized, split-body/face study was conducted on 200 healthy children aged 3 - < 18 years, who were enrolled from Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from July to August 2022. The participants were randomly and equally divided into Group A (the left side of the body/face topically treated with the test sunscreen, and the right side with the control sunscreen) and Group B (the right side of the body/face topically treated with the test sunscreen, and the left side with the control sunscreen) at a ratio of 1∶1. After applying the sunscreen, they were engaged in outdoor activities under sunlight. Skin tests were conducted on the temporal area, the extensor aspect of the upper arm and forearm before and after sun exposure. The test product was a mild sunscreen lotion containing Calendula extracts with the sun protection factor (SPF) being 50+ and the long-wave ultraviolet protection factor (PA) being +++, and the control product was a baby sunscreen containing licorice extracts (SPF35, PA++). Bilateral differential scales were used to assess clinical symptoms after sun exposure, erythema values to clinically evaluate erythema after sun exposure, and the multifunctional skin testing platform MPA10 to measure melanin and erythema values, stratum corneum hydration, and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) at the tested sites. Related adverse events were observed and recorded during the study. The paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for the comparison of quantitative data, and chi-square test (Fisher′s exact test) for the comparison of count data. Results:Totally, 198 children completed the study and visits, including 100 males (50.5%) and 98 females (49.5%), aged from 3 to 17 years (8.11 ± 0.23 years), and there were 99 cases each in the Group A and Group B. The numbers of participants with more obvious sunburn symptoms after sun exposure in the 3 tested areas were all higher on the control side than on the test side (the temporal area: 11 cases vs. 4 cases; the extensor aspect of the upper arm: 16 cases vs. 2 cases; the extensor aspect of the forearm: 33 cases vs. 3 cases), with significant differences between the bilateral sides (all P<0.001). No significant differences were observed in the erythema values between the test side and control side in the 3 tested areas (all P > 0.05). In the extensor aspect of the upper arm and forearm, the difference in the melanin value before and after sun exposure was significantly smaller on the test side (3.57 ± 2.41, 1.74 ± 1.68, respectively) than on the control side (9.50 ± 2.21, 8.13 ± 1.87, respectively, both P < 0.001) ; in the temporal region and the extensor aspect of the upper arm and forearm, the difference in the stratum corneum hydration level before and after sun exposure was significantly greater on the test side (7.72[-2.19, 19.44], 9.56 ± 1.37, 9.05 ± 1.37, respectively) than on the control side (-3.25[-13.54, 9.94], 3.63 ± 1.32, 3.73 ± 1.31, respectively, all P < 0.001) in the temporal region and the extensor aspect of the upper arm and forearm. However, there were no significant differences in the changes in the erythema or TEWL values before and after sun exposure between the test side and control side in either of the 3 tested areas (all P > 0.05). During this study, 1 case (0.51%) experienced transient urticaria on the control side, and no serious adverse events occurred. Conclusion:The mild sunscreen lotion containing Calendula extracts demonstrated superior efficacy to the control product in improving skin symptoms after sun exposure such as hyperpigmentation among healthy children aged 3 - < 18 years, with good tolerability and a relatively low incidence of adverse reactions.
