Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of immunoneoadjuvant therapy with pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy in locally advanced resectable hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma patients.Methods:This study was a prospective, single arm, single center clinical study that was opened for enrollment in April 2021. Patients who met the inclusion criteria at the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences were treated with neoadjuvant therapy of pembrolizumab combined with cisplatin and paclitaxel, and after treatments, received surgery and postoperative adjuvant therapy. The main endpoint of this study was postoperative pathological complete response (pCR), and other observations included adverse reactions and long-term prognoses of patients after neoadjuvant therapy.Results:By September 2023, a total of 23 patients who underwent neoadjuvant therapy and surgery were enrolled in the study and all patients were males aged 49-74 years. All patients were locally advanced stage, including 3 patients in stage Ⅲ and 20 patients in stage Ⅳ. There were 12 cases of primary lesions with posterior ring involvement accompanied by fixation of one vocal cord and 20 cases of regional lymph node metastases classified as N2. Eighteen cases received a two cycle regimen and 5 cases received a three cycle regimen for neoadjuvant therapy. The postoperative pCR rate was 26.1% (6/23), with no surgical delay caused by adverse drug reactions. The laryngeal preservation rate was 87.0% (20/23). Pharyngeal fistula was the main surgical complication, with an incidence of 21.7% (5/23). The median follow-up time was 15 months, and 3 patients experienced local recurrence.Conclusions:The immunoneoadjuvant therapy of pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy has a high pCR rate in locally advanced resectable hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, with increased laryngeal preservation rate and no significant impact on surgical safety.

Surgical technique of lung transplantation exerts significant impact on clinical prognosis of the recipients.Choosing an appropriate surgical incision determines the exposure of intraoperative visual field,which is the first step of surgical success and directly affects subsequent surgical procedures.Lung transplantation incision is usually considered as primary closure.Nevertheless,for patients with high-risk factors such as oversized lung allografts and primary graft failure after lung transplantation,primary closure cannot be achieved.Hence,delayed chest closure is an effective strategy.The selection of incisions and the adoption of delayed chest closure of lung transplantation exert profound impact upon perioperative prognosis,long-term quality of life and surgical complications of the recipients.Therefore,the development and research status of Clamshell incision,anterolateral incision,posterolateral incision and median sternal incision in lung transplantation were reviewed,highlighting the effect of incision patterns on clinical prognosis of lung transplantation and providing reference for the selection of incisions in clinical lung transplantation.

To summarize the experience of Professor WANG Qingguo in diagnosing and treating wind-cold-dampness arthralgia based on the principle that "the nutrient-defense qi does not merge with wind-cold-dampness qi， so it did not result to arthralgia". By analyzing the relationship between nutrient-defense qi and wind-cold-dampness arthralgia， it is believed that the occurrence of wind-cold-dampness arthralgia is closely related to the movement of nutrient qi and defense qi， and the key to the treatment of this disease is to regulate nutrient qi and defense qi and remove the combination of nutrient-defense qi and wind-cold-dampness qi. The core pathogenesis of wind-cold-dampness arthralgia in the early stage is the initial combination of nutrient-defense qi and wind-cold-dampness qi， and the treatment should harmonize nutrient-defense qi and eliminate the pathogen and release pathogenesis， with Chaihu Guizhi Decoction （柴胡桂枝汤） as the main prescription； the core pathogenesis of the middle stage is nutrient-defense qi and wind-cold-dampness qi cemented together， and the treatment should harmonize and tonify nutrient qi and defense qi and separate the pathogen to alleviate disease， with self-prescribed Chuanteng Tongbi Decoction （穿藤通痹汤） as the main prescription； the core pathogenesis of the late stage is deficiency and stagnation of nutrient-defense qi， wind-cold-dampness qi still exist， and the treatment should tonify and free nutrient qi and defense qi to eliminate pathogen and arthralgia， with self-prescribed Chuanqing Haijia Decoction （穿青海甲汤） plus Duhuo Jisheng Decoction （独活寄生汤） as the main prescription.

Objective:To assess the clinical efficacy and safety of image-guided γ-ray stereotactic body radiation therapy(IG γ-SBRT)in treating advanced pancreatic cancer.Methods:A total of fifty-six patients with advanced pancreatic cancer admitted to Senior Department of Oncology Medicine of the Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital(Department of Oncology of the Sixth Medical Center)from February 2017 to September 2020 were selected.All patients were treated with IG γ-SBRT,and the 50%-60%of isodose curve covered the planned target volume(PTV).The peripheral dose of each time was 3.0-4.5 Gy,and there were 10-11 times of treatment.The therapeutic effect was observed and was evaluated by follow-up.The visual analog scale(VAS)score was adopted to assess the situation of the pain of patients before and 3 months after treatment,and the adverse reaction of them.Results:In the 56 patients,52 cases occurred epigastric pain with VAS ranging from 3 to 10 points,among which 32 patients accompanied by symptoms such as lower back pain and abdominal distension.After 3 months of treatment,the results of reexamination and follow-up indicated that there were 48 patients whose VAS scores decreased 3 scores and above 3 scores on the basis of original scores,and the efficiency of treating pain was 92.3%.In addition,the VAS scores of 3 patients decreased 1-2 scores on the basis of original scores,which ratio was 5.85%of the total number of people.All 56 patients were reexamined at the 3rd month after treatment,and 13 cases of them obtained complete response(CR),and 37 cases obtained partial response(PR),and 1 case obtained progressive disease(PD),and 5 cases obtained stable disease(SD),and the objectively response rate(ORR)was 89.3%,and the locally control rate was 98.2%.In addition,median progression-free survival(PFS)was 6.5 months,and 1-year survival rate was 62.5%(35/56),and 2-year survival rate was 23.2%(13/56).The adverse reactions of 56 patients were the adverse reactions of digestive system and blood system,among which 47 patients occurred upper digestive tract reaction,and the incidence of adverse reactions was 83.9%(47/56).A total of 43 patients occurred myelosuppression,and the incidence of myelosuppression was 76.8%(43/56).Conclusion:IG γ-SBRT can effectively relieve the symptoms of metastatic pancreatic cancer,and improve the effectiveness of treatment,the local control rate and survival rate.The tolerance of adverse reaction of that is favorable,and the safety of that is higher.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and molecular features of patients with CD7 +relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia(r/rAML)and the prognosis of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Methods:172 r/rAML patients who underwent allo-HSCT in department of hematology, Aerospace Center Hospital between January 1st 2017 and December 31st 2020 were retrospectively analyzed The patients were were divided into CD7 + group( n=75) and CD7 - group( n=97) according to the expression CD7 in the initial immunophenotype. Mann-Whitney U and Chi-square test were used to compare the clinical data, molecular and cytogenetic characteristics of the two groups of patients. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the median progression-free survival (PFS) and median overall survival (OS) of the two groups of patients, and Cox regression screenthe prognostic factors of the patients. Results:The median follow-up time was 19 months. The recurrence rates were 23.71% and 50.67%, respectively in CD7 - and CD7 + group (χ 2=13.428 P<0.001). In relapsed patients, 86.96 percentage of CD7 - group did not express CD7 while 86.84 percentage of CD7 + group expressed CD7. The median PFS was 25 and 5 months in CD7 - and CD7 + group (χ 2=8.695, P=0.003), and the medianOS was 34 and 15 months in CD7 - and CD7 + group (χ 2=2.579, P=0.108). Univariate analysis showed that the CD7 +group, had the lower rates of morphological remission (χ 2=10.014, P=0.002), molecular remission (χ 2=22.809, P<0.001), and more male patients (χ 2=5.281, P=0.022). The incidence of CEBPA double-site mutation was higher (23.4% vs 8.2%, χ 2=8.180, P=0.004) and the rearrangement of RUNX1::RUNX1T1 was lower(4.0% vs18.6%, χ 2=8.362, P=0.004)in CD7 +group than in CD7 -group. Multivariate analysis showed that pre-transplant tumor load was the only prognostic factor for PFS (HR, 1.600; 95% CI, 1.203 to 2.127; P=0.001) and OS (HR, 1.737; 95% CI, 1.273 to 2.369; P<0.001) in r/r AML patients. Conclusion:CD7 expression is a risk factor for poor prognosis in r/r AML patients, and CD7 expression is stable after relapse. Positive CD7 can be used as a target for immune targeted therapy.

Objective:To establish the reference for serum metabolomics profiles among healthy Han adults in China, and explore the variation on metabolomics profiles by geographic regions, sex, and age.Methods:Cross-sectional data and serum samples were obtained from the China National Health Survey. A total of 1 039 male and 1 032 female healthy adults(≥30 years) were included in this study. Serum metabolomics analyses were conducted with ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS). Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) was performed to compare the differences of metabolomics among different region, sex, and age.Results:Significant differences on metabolomics profiles were identified among region, sex, and age. A total of 114 region-related metabolites were spotted, including 53 metabolites that involved in human metabolic pathways, mainly peptides(20 metabolites) and glycerophospholipid metabolism-related(14 metabolites). Fifty-nine metabolites were pinned down to be sex-related, among which cotinine was significant in all 7 provinces. Age-related metabolites were only found in Shaanxi and Hainan, with 22 metabolites were recognized.Conclusion:Serum metabolomics varies by geographic regions, sex, and age. When metabolomics is applied for diagnosis or biomarker screening in various studies, it shall take into consideration of setting tailored references.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of modified Bufei Huangqitang combined with acupuncture on moderate-to-severe allergic rhinitis due to deficiency and cold in lung and kidney. MethodA total of 130 patients were divided into a control group （65 cases） and an observation group （65 cases） according to a random number table. The patients in the control group were treated with cetirizine hydrochloride tablets （10 mg per night） combined with mometasone furoate nasal spray （one press on each side，once a day），and those in the observation group were treated with acupuncture （once a day） combined with modified Bufei Huangqitang（1/2 dose each time，twice a day） for 15 days. The rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire （RQLQ），total nasal symptom score （TNSS），nasal airway resistance （NAR），and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome score of allergic rhinitis with deficiency and cold in lung and kidney syndrome were observed before and after treatment in two groups. The neuropeptide Y （NPY），vasoactive intestinal peptide （VIP），substance P （SP） in nasal secretions， and immune inflammatory markers ［eosinophil （EOS），eotaxin （EOT），immunoglobulin E （IgE），and interleukin-33 （IL-33）］ in serum were detected. Adverse reactions of the two groups were observed during the study period. ResultThe total effective rate was 96.9% （63/65） in the observation group， higher than 81.5% （53/65） in the control group （χ²=7.943，P<0.05）. After treatment，the RQLQ，TNSS，NAR， and TCM syndrome scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group （P<0.05）. The nasal secretions NPY in the observation group was higher than that in the control group （P<0.05），while VIP and SP in the observation group were lower than those in the control group （P<0.05）. The serum EOS，IgE， and IL-33 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group （P<0.05）， while the serum EOT in the observation group was higher than those in the control group （P<0.05）. Adverse reactions occurred in two cases in the control group and one case in the observation group. The incidence of adverse reactions had no statistical significance between the two groups. ConclusionAcupuncture combined with modified Bufei huangqitang can significantly relieve the clinical symptoms of moderate-to-severe allergic rhinitis due to deficiency and cold in lung and kidney and improve the serum immune inflammatory markers， with good safety.

Objective:To investigate the hemodynamic changes of the main arteries and veins of the extremities and the heart in patients with hypertrophic scar secondary to extensive burns after pressure treatment, and to analyze the relevant mechanisms.Methods:A retrospective before-after self-control study was conducted. From January 2017 to February 2022, 37 patients with hypertrophic scar secondary to extensive burns who met the inclusion criteria were hospitalized in the Burn Rehabilitation Department of Guangdong Industrial Injury Rehabilitation Hospital, including 25 males and 12 females, aged 23-52 years. The patients were admitted to the hospital within 12 weeks after wound healing, and within one week after admission, rehabilitation therapists, occupational therapists, and tailors custom-made pressure products such as full-body pressure garment, pressure pants, vests, split finger gloves, split finger socks, hoods, and plastic collars, with the pressure at each part maintained at 2.67-4.00 kPa when wearing. Before the first treatment with pressure products (hereinafter referred to as before pressure treatment) and at 1 h of the first treatment with pressure products (hereinafter referred to as 1 h of pressure treatment), color Doppler ultrasonography was performed to check the pulse rate of the axillary artery, the lumen diameter, peak systolic velocity (PSV), and resistance index of the axillary artery and femoral artery on the left side, the lumen diameter, cross-sectional area, and average blood flow velocity of the axillary vein and femoral vein, and the mitral valve E peak, mitral valve A peak, tricuspid valve E peak, aortic valve PSV, and pulmonary valve PSV of the heart; an optical chromatographic skin detector was used to detect the red color, red pigment, and surface brightness of the scar on the back of the hand to reflect the filling and distribution of the scar microvessels. Data were statistically analyzed with paired sample t test. Results:Compared with those before pressure treatment, the PSV of the axillary artery of patients was significantly slowed down at 1 h of pressure treatment ( t=55.42, P<0.01); the average blood flow velocity of the axillary vein was significantly accelerated ( t=-60.50, P<0.01); the pulse rate, lumen diameter, and resistance index of the axillary artery, as well as the lumen diameter and cross-sectional area of the axillary vein did not change obviously ( P>0.05); the average blood flow velocity of the femoral vein was significantly accelerated ( t=-80.52, P<0.01); the lumen diameter, PSV, and resistance index of the femoral artery, as well as the lumen diameter and cross-sectional area of the femoral vein had no significant change ( P>0.05); the mitral valve E peak and mitral valve A peak of the heart decreased significantly (with t values of 10.71 and 21.96, respectively, P<0.01); the tricuspid valve E peak of the heart increased significantly ( t=7.57, P<0.01); the PSV of the aortic valve and pulmonary valve of the heart did not change obviously ( P>0.05). At 1 h of pressure treatment, the red color and red pigment values of the scar on the back of the hand of patients were 15.3±1.1 and 16.8±1.2, respectively, which were significantly lower than 24.5±1.3 and 23.8±1.2 before pressure treatment (with t values of 8.32 and 8.04, respectively, P<0.01). The brightness value of the scar surface on the back of the hand of patients at 1 h of pressure treatment was similar to that before pressure treatment ( P>0.05). Conclusions:After pressure treatment for the hypertrophic scar in patients secondary to extensive burn, the average blood flow velocity of the axillary vein and femoral vein in patients are obviously accelerated, the PSV of the axillary artery is significantly slowed down, the peak values of mitral valve E and mitral valve A of the heart are significantly decreased, and the tricuspid valve E peak is significantly increased. These hemodynamic changes may be related to the reduction of microvascular blood flow in the local area of scar after systemic pressure treatment.
