Objective To investigate the clinical effect of transhepatic arterial chemoembolization(TACE)combined with tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKIs)and programmed death receptors-1(PD-1)inhibitors(TACE+TKIs+PD-1 antibody)in the treatment of moderate advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods The clinical data of 65 patients with moderate advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from January 2020 to January 2022 were analyzed retrospectively.65 patients were treated with TACE+TKIs+PD-1 antibody.The observation indexes were tumor response,objective response rate(ORR),disease control rate(DCR),total survival time,progression free survival time,conversion operation rate and adverse drug reaction.Results The ORR of 65 p-atients with hepatocellular carcinoma was 49.2％(32/65),and the DCR was 89.2％(58/65).Among them,there were 2 patients with complete remission(CR),30 patients with partial remission(PR),26 patients with stable disease(SD),and 7 patients with progression disease(PD).Among 65 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma,18 patients were transformed into resectable hepatocell-ular carcinoma and underwent RO surgery.The conversion rate was 27.6％(18/65).65 patients were followed up for 3 to 22.4 months,The median follow-up time was 16.5 months.The median overall survival time and median disease progression free survival time of 65 patients were 14.5 months(95％CI:12.3～16.6 months)and 8.8 months(95％CI:6.9～10.6 months),respectively.After treatment,65 patients all had post embolism syndrome(abdominal pain,fever,nausea,vomiting and other symptoms),and some patients had transient abnormal liver function.Adverse drug reactions below grade 3 recovered within a few days.Some patients were associated with multiple adverse drug reactions.1 patient(1.5％)stopped using TACE because of stubborn vomiting,and 5 patients(7.6％)stopped using Lenvatinib because of severe liver function damage during treatment,2 patients(3％)stopped using Camrelizumab because of severe reactive capillary hyperplasia,one patient(1.5％)stopped using Tislelizumab because of severe hypothyroidism,one patient(1.5％)stopped the treatment of Lenvatinib and Sintilimab due to severe gastrointestinal bleeding.The adverse drug reactions of grade 3～4 occurred in other patients were alleviated after drug reduction,symptomatic treatment and hormone treatment.Conclusion TACE+TKIs+PD-1 antibody can obtain reliable clinical efficacy and anti-tumor activity in the treatment of moderate advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective:To explore the expression patterns of inhibitor of differentiation(ID)family in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia(CML)and analyze their clinical implications.Methods:Quantitative PCR and quantitative methylation-specific PCR were conducted to de-tect the transcript levels of ID2/ID3/ID4 and the methylation levels of ID4 in the bone marrow mononuclear cells of non-hematological ma-lignancies(acting as controls)and patients with CML treated at The Affiliated People's Hospital of Jiangsu University from January 2010 to December 2017.The clinical implications of ID family alterations were further analyzed.Results:ID2 and ID3 expression was significantly up regulated(P<0.001 and P<0.05,respectively),whereas ID4 expression was markedly down regulated in patients with CML(P<0.01).The re-ceiver operating characteristic curve demonstrated that the ID2 transcript level is a potential biomarker for distinguishing CML from controls(AUC=0.895,P<0.001).The frequency of ID4 promoter methylation in patients with CML was drastically higher than that in the controls(P=0.001).Moreover,ID4 methylation was negatively correlated with ID4 expression in patients with CML(r=-0.424,P=0.002).Clinically,CML with high ID2 expression occurred more frequently in males(P=0.040).Patients with low ID4 expression or high ID4 methylation showed a markedly higher frequency of an accelerated phase/blast crisis(P=0.003 and P<0.001,respectively).In addition,patients with CML in an accelerated phase/blast crisis exhibited markedly lower ID4 expression and higher ID4 methylation levels than those in the chronic phase(both P<0.001).Furthermore,univariate and multiple Logistic regression analyses revealed that the ID4 methylation level was an inde-pendent risk factor for CML progression(P=0.007).Conclusions:The ID family was differentially expressed in patients with CML;specifically,ID2 and ID3 expression was significantly increased,whereas ID4 expression was markedly decreased and correlated with ID4 promoter hy-permethylation.Hence,ID4 expression and methylation are confirmed to be associated with CML progression,and ID4 methylation could be an independent risk factor for CML progression.

Objective:To investigate diagnosis and treatment methods of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections related to cosmetic surgery.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From January 2015 to December 2023, 24 patients with NTM infections related to cosmetic surgery meeting the inclusion criteria were admitted to Shenzhen Hospital of Southern Medical University and Northern Theater Command General Hospital, all of whom were female and aged 29-51 years. Among them, 20 cases underwent lipolysis needle injection surgery, 2 cases underwent facial contouring surgery, 1 case underwent foreign body injection, and 1 case underwent wrinkle removal surgery. The clinical manifestations of infections caused by NTM included scattered dark purplish subcutaneous nodules at the infection site with unclear boundaries, thinning of the skin on the surface of the nodules and ulceration, and powdery-white fish meat like tissue and a small amount of light yellow exudation being seen at the ulceration. In order to improve the detection rate of NTM, bacterial culture of wound exudation combined with solid tissue samples, multiple bacterial cultures, and extending culture time were performed. All patients were treated with damage control debridement on the infected site and comprehensive treatment including the use of antibiotics based on the results of drug sensitivity tests. The types of NTM infections, drug sensitivity test results, wound healing time, number of bacterial cultures, and surgical debridement times were recorded. The wound healing was observed during follow-up.Results:The bacterial culture results showed that there were 22 cases of infections with Mycobacterium abscessus and 2 cases with Mycobacterium fortuitum. The drug sensitivity test results showed that the NTM was sensitive to antibiotics such as clarithromycin, amikacin, and doxycycline. The average healing time of the wound was 83.6 days with an average of 2.85 times bacterial cultures on the specimen, and an average of 2.52 times of debridement surgery. Follow up for 6 months to 5 years, all wounds of the patients were healed. Among them, 22 patients had a basically normal appearance with slight scars, while 2 patients had obvious scars and depressions. Conclusions:It is difficult to treat NTM infections related to cosmetic surgery. Damage control debridement for the infected site can ensure wound healing and reduce the damage and postoperative deformities in facial and other cosmetic areas.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of single-incision plus one-port three dimensional (3D) laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (SILPD+1).Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 40 patients who underwent 3D laparos-copic pancreaticoduodenectomy in Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from January to October 2023 were collected. There were 24 males and 16 females, aged (63±10)years. Of the 40 patients, 18 cases undergoing SILPD+1 were divided into the SILPD+1 group, and 22 cases under-going conventional five-trocar 3D laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (CLPD) were divided into the CLPD group. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative situations and complications. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the Mann-Whitney rank sum test. Results:(1) Surgical situa-tions. Seventeen patients of the SILPD+1 group completed surgery successfully, and the rest of one patient with an inflammatory mass of the pancreatic head was converted to open surgery due to unclear boundary with mesenteric blood vessels and severe adhesion of surrounding tissues. All patients of the CLPD group completed surgery successfully, without conversion to open surgery. There was no significant difference in conversion to open surgery between the two groups ( P>0.05), and there was no significant difference in the volume of intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative blood transfusion or operation time ( P>0.05). (2) Postoperative situations and complications. There was no significant difference in tumor diameter, the number of lymph node dissected, the number of positive lymph node, R 0 resection, tumor type, time to postoperative first flatus, time to postopera-tive first intake liquid food, tome to first out-of-bed activity, time to postoperative drainage tube removal, duration of postoperative hospital stay, postoperative bleeding, pancreatic fistula, chylous leakage, delayed gastric emptying, abdominal fluid collection, incision infection, classification of com-plications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Postoperative pain score of the SILPD+1 group and the CLPD group was 5.0(4.5,6.0) and 6.5(6.0,7.0), respectively, showing a significant difference ( Z=-3.61, P<0.05). Both groups of patients had no occurrence of biliary fistula or abdominal infection after surgery, and there was no readmission within 30 days after surgery or no death within 90 days after surgery. Conclusions:Compared with CLPD, SILPD+1 is safe and feasible, with less postoperative pain. While ensuring oncological outcomes, SILPD+1 does not increase surgical time, postoperative hospital stay, or incidence of postoperative complications.

Objective To explore the effect of mindfulness training on mental health of elite athletes and its possible mechanism.Methods Totally 462 Chinese elite athletes(Mage=18.16,SD=3.14,Range=12～28,44.8%female)were conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire survey.SPSS23 was employed for data statistical analysis,and the mediation model was tested through the Bootstrap program of the extension program PROCESS.Results Mindfulness significantly and negatively predicted anxiety(β=-0.386,P<0.001),depression(β=-0.342,P<0.001),and poor sleep quality(β=-0.324,P<0.001),but significantly and positively predicted training&competition satisfaction(β=0.432,P<0.001)and psychological well-being(β=0.399,P<0.001).Moreover,mindfulness showed significant effects on anxi-ety,poor sleep quality,and satisfaction to training and competition through experiential acceptance,cognitive defusion,and decentering.However,it performed significant impacts on their depression and psychological well-being only through experiential acceptance and cognitive defusion.Conclusion Mind-fulness directly predicts negative reactions such as anxiety,depression and poor sleep quality,as well as positive ones including training and competition satisfaction and psychological well-being in elite ath-letes.Moreover,it has indirect effects on anxiety,poor sleep and training and competition satisfaction through experiential acceptance,cognitive defusion and decentering,together with on depression and psychological well-being through the former two factors.

Autologous ozonized blood transfusion(AOBT) is a therapy of re-transfusion of 100-200 mL of autologous blood after shaking and agitation with appropriate amount of oxygen-ozone in vitro. The oxidation of blood through the strong oxidation of ozone can enhance the non-specific immune response of the body, regulate the internal environment and promote health. This therapy has been increasingly applied in clinical practice, while no unified standard for the operation process in terms of ozone concentration, treatment frequency and treatment course had been established. This operation process of AOBT is primarily explored in order to standardize the operation process and ensure its safety and efficacy.

【Objective:】 To understand the current status and related impacts of medical risk perception and treatment decision-making in preoperative patients with malignant tumors. 【Methods:】 The 350 malignant tumor patients who were hospitalized for surgical treatment in two tertiary hospitals in Liaoning Province were selected. The general information questionnaire, medical risk perception questionnaire, and participation in treatment decision-making questionnaire were used as survey tools. SPSS26.0 software, data statistical methods such as the Kappa test and multiple linear regression were used to analyze valid data. 【Results:】 Among the 350 subjects, the mean scores of the actual level of participation in treatment decision-making and attitude towards participation in treatment decision-making were(1.75±0.50) and(1.56±0.52), respectively, and the consistency between them was poor(Kappa=0.134, P<0.001). The total score of medical risk perception in preoperative patients with malignant tumors was(57.13±16.2). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the actual degree of patient participation in treatment decision-making was influenced by the experience of surgical treatment(β=-1.744, P<0.05), economic risk in medical risk perception(β=0.478, P<0.05), and time risk (β=0.478, P<0.05). Economic risk in medical risk perception(β=0.043, P<0.05), time risk (β=0.646, P<0.05), and psychological risk(β=-0.329, P<0.05) were the influencing factors of patients’ attitude towards participating in treatment decision-making. 【Conclusion:】 Medical professionals should pay more attention to the influence of medical risk perception of malignant tumor patients on treatment decision-making. Malignant tumor patients should fully exercise their right to choose treatment plans independently, and jointly improve the actual level and attitude of the group when participating in treatment decision-making.

Objective:To determine the evaluation indexes of national standard strains of genotypes 1, 3 and 5 of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) and evaluate the national standard JEV strains.Methods:According to the national standard strain evaluation technical standards of pathogenic microbial bacteria (virus) species, based on the application of Japanese encephalitis virus research, and according to the morphological characteristics, biological characteristics, molecular biological characteristics and other research data to identify the characteristics of G1, G3 and G5 genotypes of JEV.Results:Spherical virus particles with a diameter of about 60 nm were visible under electron microscope of the three Japanese encephalitis virus strains. The cytopathic effect was mainly characterized by cell shrinkage and exfoliation in BHK-21 and Vero cell lines, cell fusion and exfoliation were shown after infection with C6/36 cell line; the virus titer was 10 5-10 7 PFU/ml, and the plaque size was different by genotype. The median lethal dose of intrabitoneal challenge in G1, G3 and G5 JEV in three weeks-old mice was 50.51 PFU, 6.98 PFU, and 8.13 PFU, and the median lethal dose of intracranial challenge in five weeks mice was 3 PFU, 0.3 PFU, 1.35 PFU. The whole genome length of G1, G3 and G5 JEV was 10 967 bp, 10 976 bp and 10 983 bp, respectively. Conclusions:Three genotypic national standard strains of JE V were identified and evaluated by electron microscopy, cell, animal and genome laboratory indexes, which provided reference for the identification and evaluation of other national standard strains of JEV.

OBJECTIVES: The long-term trends of cognitive function and its associations with physical performance remain unclear, particularly in Asian populations. The study objectives were to determine cognitive trajectories in middle-aged and elderly Chinese individuals, as well as to examine differences in physical performance across cognitive trajectory groups. METHODS: Data were extracted from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. A total of 5,701 participants (47.7% male) with a mean age of 57.8 (standard deviation, 8.4) years at enrollment were included. A group-based trajectory model was used to identify cognitive trajectory groups for each sex. Grip strength, repeated chair stand, and standing balance tests were used to evaluate physical performance. An ordered logistic regression model was employed to analyze differences in physical performance across cognitive trajectory groups. RESULTS: Three cognitive trajectory groups were identified for each sex: low, middle, and high. For both sexes, higher cognitive trajectory groups exhibited smaller declines with age. In the fully adjusted model, relative to the low trajectory group, the odds ratios (ORs) of better physical performance in the middle cognitive group were 1.37 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.17 to 1.59; p<0.001) during follow-up and 1.40 (95% CI, 1.20 to 1.64; p<0.001) at the endpoint. The ORs in the high trajectory group were 1.94 (95% CI, 1.61 to 2.32; p<0.001) during follow-up and 2.04 (95% CI, 1.69 to 2.45; p<0.001) at the endpoint. CONCLUSIONS Cognitive function was better preserved in male participants and individuals with higher baseline cognitive function. A higher cognitive trajectory was associated with better physical performance over time.

Objective:To clarify the clinicopathological, especially molecular, features of early-onset gastric cancer with the aim of informing analysis of treatment strategies.Methods:In this retrospective case-control study, we examined data from a dedicated gastric cancer database in Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University. The original cohort comprised 2506 patients with gastric cancer who had undergone gastrectomy in Zhongshan Hospital Fudan University from July 2020 to October 2021, including 198 with early-onset gastric cancer (aged ≤45 years) and 2,308 with non-early gastric cancer. We used a simple random sampling method to select 396 of the 2,308 patients aged >45 years (ratio of 1:2) as the control group and then compared molecular diagnostic data and clinicopathological features of the two groups.Results:The median age was 39 years in the early-onset gastric cancer group, while 66 years in the control group. The clinicopathological features of early-onset gastric cancer included female predominance (59.1% [117/198] vs. 27.8% [110/396], χ 2=54.816, P<0.001), less comorbidity (32.3% [64/198] vs. 57.1% [226/396], χ 2=32.355, P<0.001), poorer differentiation (93.9% [186/198] vs. 74.5% [295/396], χ 2=30.777, P<0.001) and higher proportion of diffuse type (40.4% [80/198] vs. 15.9% [63/396], χ 2=69.639, P<0.001), distant metastasis (7.1% [14/198] vs. 2.8% [11/396], χ 2=6.034, P=0.014). Regarding treatment, distal gastrectomy was more commonly performed than proximal gastrectomy (55.1% [109/198] vs. 47.0% [186/396], 1.5% [3/198] vs. 8.3% [33/396], χ 2=11.644, P=0.003). Family history of gastric cancer, TNM stage, tumor size, lymph node dissection, nerve invasion, nodes harboring metastases, range of lymph node dissection, digestive tract reconstruction procedure, implementation of laparoscopic surgery, combined resection, and preoperative treatment did not differ significantly between the two groups (all P>0.05). Molecular diagnosis showed there was a smaller percentage of mismatch repair deficiency in the early-onset gastric cancer than in the control group (1.0% [2/198] vs. 10.1% [40/396], χ 2=16.301, P<0.001), and a higher rate of positivity for Claudin 18.2 (77.8% [154/198] vs. 53.0% [210/396], χ 2=5.442, P<0.001). HER-2 and Epstein–Barr virus positivity rates did not differ significantly between the two groups. Conclusion:Early-onset gastric cancer is a distinct type of gastric cancer with a high degree of malignancy, and treatment targeting Claudin 18.2 may be effective.
