The intestinal flora and gut barrier function are of great significance for gut function and human health. When the intestinal flora is disrupted and the gut barrier structure is disrupted, it can lead to bacterial translocation, endotoxin influx into the bloodstream, and the production of pro-inflammatory factors, leading to various tissue damage in the body. Tongfu method in TCM can affect the intestinal environment by regulating intestinal permeability and immune response, restoring normal intestinal movement, and regulating the structure and metabolites of intestinal flora, thereby maintaining intestinal homeostasis and body health. The research on regulating intestinal flora and improving intestinal barrier function by Tongfu method can provide reference for further research on the relationship between TCM and intestinal microecology, and provide ideas for clinical treatment.

Objective:
The aim of this study was to determine the poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) response and outcome of ovarian cancer (OC) patients with BRCA1/2 germline mutation and a history of breast cancer (BC).
Methods:
Thirty-nine OC patients with BRCA1/2 germline mutation and a history of BC were included. The clinicopathological characteristics, PARPis response and prognosis were analyzed.
Results:
The median interval from BC to OC diagnosis was 115.3 months (range=6.4–310.1).A total of 38 patients (38/39, 97.4%) received platinum-based chemotherapy after surgical removal. The majority of these patients were reported to be platinum sensitive (92.1%, 35/38).21 patients (53.8%) received PARPis treatment with 16 patients (76.2%) for maintenance treatment and 5 patients (5/21, 23.8%) for salvage treatment. The median duration for PARPis maintenance and salvage treatment was 14.9 months (range=2.0–56.9) and 8.2 months (range=5.2–20.7), respectively. In the entire cohort, 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rate was 33.1% and 78.9%, respectively. Patients with BRCA1 mutation had a non-significantly worse 5-year PFS (28.6% vs. 45.8%, p=0.346) and 5-year OS (76.9% vs.83.3%, p=0.426) than those with BRCA2 mutation. In patients with stage III–IV (n=31), first line PARPis maintenance treatment associated with a non-significantly better PFS (median PFS: NR vs. 22.4 months; 5-year PFS: 64.3% vs. 21.9%, p=0.096).
Conclusion
The current study shows that these patients may have a good response to platinum-based chemotherapy and a favorable survival. And these patients can benefit from PARPis treatment and will likely be suitable candidates for PARPis.

Objective:To investigate the factors for serious complications within 30 days after surgery in elderly patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC)who undertook primary debulking surgery(PDS).Methods:The clinical data of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics(FIGO)stage ⅢC/Ⅳ EOC patients aged≥60 years who received PDS in gynecological department of National Cancer Center and National Center of Gerontology between January 2014 and December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.Clavien-Dindo scoring system was applied to grade the complications within 30 days after surgery.The serious early postoperative complications were those of grade Ⅲ or above occurred within 30 days after surgery.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the independent risk factors of serious complications within 30 days after surgery.Results:A total of 133 patients were included in this study and serious complications rated 11.3%(15/133). The mean age of patients in severe complication group was significantly higher than that in the control group[(69.80±6.56) vs.(65.87±5.14), t=2.699, P=0.008]. The proportion of patients with preoperative ECOG score≥2 was significantly higher in the severe complication group than that in the control group[26.7%(4/15) vs.5.9%(7/118), χ2=4.985, P=0.026], and the proportion of preoperative hypoalbuminemia(<35 g/L)was significantly higher in the severe complication group[20.0%(3/15) vs.3.4%(4/118), χ2=4.897, P=0.027]. However, there was no significant difference in intraoperative bleeding, R0 resection rate as well as surgical complexity( χ2=1.964, 0.330, 4.637, all P>0.05)between the two groups.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the independent factors for serious early postoperative complications were age≥70 years( OR=4.345, P=0.028), ECOG score≥2( OR=25.619, P=0.008)and preoperative albumin <35 g/L( OR=6.733, P=0.040). Conclusions:In the elderly ovarian cancer patients, individualized perioperative management should be strengthened for the patients with factors associated with serious early postoperative complications, in order to reduce severe complications and improve the prognosis.

OBJECTIVE To study the clinical characteristics of leflunomide-induced int erstitial pneumonia (Lef-IP),and to provide reference for its clinical diagnosis ,treatment and prevention. METHODS Lef-IP cases published in domestic and foreign journals from January 2004 to June 2021 were collected. Relevant information of patients were extracted and analyzed retrospectively, including basic characteristics ,clinical manifestations ,imaging manifestations ,laboratory examinations , histopathological examinations ,treatment and outcome. RESULTS A total of 54 Lef-IP patients from case reports of 24 publications were included ,with a median age of 61 years(9-83 years). Pulmonary symptoms appeared from 3.3 weeks to 132.9 weeks(median time of 14.5 weeks). Patients with a loading dose of leflunomide have a shorter median time to pulmonary symptoms appearing (7.5 weeks). The main clinical manifestations were dyspnea (85.2%),cough(57.4%),fever(53.7%). CT imaging examination showed 19 cases with ground-glass shadow in both lungs ,and 29 cases showed interstitial infiltration in both lungs on chest radiograph;blood gas analysis showed hypoxemia and hypocapnia ;the levels of C-reactive protein and Krebs von Den lungen- 6 (KL-6)increased;histopathological examination mainly showed interstitial pneumonia (8 cases),including 3 cases of diffuse alveolar injury ,4 cases of lymphocytes in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid ,and 1 case of noncaseating granuloma. After discontinued leflunomide and symptomatic treatment (antibiotics,hormones,colecenamine,plasma exchange ),35 patients(64.8%)recovered or improved their lung symptoms. Twelve patients (22.2%)died,and patients with fever may had a higher mortality rate (34.5%, P=0.02). CONCLUSIONS The main clinical manifestations of Lef-IP are dyspnea ,cough and fever. Loading doses of leflunomide should be avoided at the beginning of treatment. When lef-IP occurs ,leflunomide is discontinued and corresponding treatment is given,and most of the patients ’pulmonary symptoms can return to normal or be improved.

Abstract
Public physical education teaching has adopted modern concepts and approachs of physical training to highlight the importance and effectiveness of physical education in colleges and universities in China. These courses have placed an emphasis on the need to attend to the structural integrity of the human body, optimizing the basic action mode and the efficient transmission of the power chain in motion. From the perspective of curriculum education, it is helpful to update ideas surrounding the public physical education curriculum in colleges and universities to enrich the content of public physical education courses provided by these institutions and to improve the scientific nature of training, while also enhancing the physical fitness of college students and promoting lifelong sports consciousness. However, there is insufficient explanation and implementation of modern physical training concepts and approachs into the teaching and process of public sports in colleges and universities. It will be beneficial to improve its top level design, increase policy support, provide better facilities, strengthen the construction of teachers, actively organize enjoyable physical fitness competitions, enrich the teaching content system and clear on the positioning of college physical education, in order to promote the fundamental tasks of school based physical education and the value of school sports. This is also important to ensure a renewal of the concept of the public physical education curriculum in our country, and encourage reform of the curriculum content, teaching mode and teaching methods, while also highlighting the essential function of physical training.

Objective:To assess the treatment and prognosis of vulvar melanoma.Methods:A total of 59 cases of primary vulvar melanoma admitted to Cancer Hospital of Peking Union Medical College, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 1st, 1981 to November 30th, 2019 were collected. The clinical characteristics, treatment, survival and prognostic factors of vulvar melanoma were analyzed retrospectively. The end date of follow-up was January 15th, 2020.The median follow-up time was 26.0 months (range:2-198 months).Results:(1) Clinical characteristics: the median age of 59 patients with vulvar melanoma was 56 years old (range:18-83 years old). According to the American Joint Committee on Cancer stage manual, there were 18, 7, 26 and 8 cases of stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ respectively. The lesion of 38 cases was single and the other 21 cases were multiple. The largest diameter of the tumor ranged from 0.3 to 17.0 cm.The surface of the lesion was ulcerated in 17 cases. (2) Treatment: a total of 59 cases with vulvar melanoma, 56 patients received surgery, 36 cases of them received radical resection of vulva and 20 received local extended resection of vulvar tumor due to unilateral vulva lesion. Three patients did not receive surgery,one received chemotherapy combined with interferon, one received interferon, and one received radiotherapy. Lymph node management: among the 56 patients treated by surgery, 37 patients received inguinal lymphadenectomy, 24 (65%, 24/37) of whom were confirmed with inguinal lymph node metastasis by postoperative pathological examination. Inguinal lymph nodes enlargement were not found in 19 cases by preoperative imaging and clinical examination. In these 19 patients, three patients received inguinal lymph node biopsy, among them, one (1/3) patient was confirmed with inguinal lymph node metastasis by postoperative pathological examination, and the remaining 16 patients did not receive inguinal lymph node surgery. Postoperative adjuvant treatment: among the 56 patients who received surgery, 31 received adjuvant chemotherapy,one received adjuvant radiotherapy, four received interferon therapy, 17 received combination therapy including chemotherapy, and three did not receive postoperative adjuvant therapy. (3) Survival:during the follow-up period, the median survival time of 59 patients with vulvar melanoma was 30.0 months (range:2.0-198.0 months). The 3-year survival rate was 42.5%, and the 5-year survival rate was 23.8%. The median survival time of stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ were 72.0, 45.0, 24.0 and 23.0 months, respectively. The difference among stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ and stage Ⅲ, Ⅳ were statistically significant ( P<0.01). The median survival time of patients undergoing radical resection of the vulva (35.0 months) and local enlarged tumor resection (29.0 months) were significantly longer than that of patients without surgery (9.0 months, P<0.01). The median survival time of the patients who underwent inguinal lymphadenectomy, lymph node biopsy and those who did not undergo surgery were 35.0, 32.0 and 30.0 months, respectively. There were no significant differences among the 3 groups ( P>0.05). The median survival time of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy patients (49.0 months) were significantly longer than that of postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy, interferon,and combination therapy including chemotherapy (9.0, 14.0 and 26.0 months, respectively, all P<0.01). (4) Prognostic factors: the univariate analysis showed that stage, vulvar operation and postoperative adjuvant treatment were the risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with vulvar melanoma ( P<0.01). Multivariate analysis revealed that stage alone was an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of patients with vulvar melanoma ( P<0.01). Conclusions:The prognosis of patients with vulvar melanoma is poor, and stage is an independent prognostic factor.Surgery combined with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy may achieve relatively good results.
