Objective:To explore the effect of personalized nutritional support based on nutritional risk screening on nutritional status and prognosis of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.Methods:A total of 100 patients with inflammatory bowel disease admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2021 to September 2022 were selected as the study objects, and were divided into control group and observation group according to the random number method. NRS 2002 nutritional risk screening was performed on all patients. The control group was given routine nursing and nutritional support. On this basis, the observation group received patient-centered personalized nutrition support program shared by doctors and patients. The nutritional status, inflammatory indicators and prognosis of the two groups were compared and observed at admission, discharge, 1 month after discharge, and 3 months after discharge.Results:From admission to 3 months after discharge, albumin, prealbumin, nitrogen balance, triceps skinfold thickness in the two groups were significantly increased ( F = 8.43, 14.32, 10.27, 23.41, 7.66, 8.91, 6.84, 8.90, P < 0.05), while the malnutrition inflammation score was significantly decreased ( F = 4.84, 7.42, P < 0.05). Albumin, prealbumin, nitrogen balance, triceps skinfold thickness in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group at 3 months after discharge ( t = 7.95, 17.43, 6.55, 6.72, P < 0.001), and the malnutrition inflammation score was significantly lower than that of the control group ( t = 6.95, P < 0.001). As treatment progressed, the levels of C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin gradually decreased and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate slowed down in both groups compared with the admission, with statistical significance ( F = 9.03, 11.28, 18.37, 19.20, 32.42, 28.88, P < 0.001). The levels of C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin and erythrocyte sedimentation rate in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group 3 months after discharge ( t = 8.29, 7.99, 10.34, P < 0.001). Patients in the observation group had good compliance with the formulated diet plan, and no related rejection events occurred. The readmission rate of patients in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group ( χ2 = 10.18, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Individualized nutrition support programs based on nutritional risk screening can help improve the nutritional status and disease status of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Objective:To investigate the role of p-AKT-mTOR-P70S6K signaling pathway in radiation therapy for polyploid cervical cancer cells.Methods:Human cervical cancer HeLa cell lines were selected and HeLa cells were radiated under 7 Gy of 6 MV X-ray. The morphological changes of the cells were observed with an inverted microscope on day 5 after radiation induction. All cells were divided into the 7 Gy group (7 Gy X-ray radiation but not transfected polyploidy HeLa cells) and the control group (the non-radiation-induced and not transfected HeLa cells). In addition, the plasmid carrying pcDNA3 negative control sequence and the plasmid carrying pcDNA3-TT-AKT sequence were transfected into HeLa cells, respectively, which were induced by 7 Gy X-ray radiation after 48 h of transfection, and then they were recorded as the pcDNA3 + 7 Gy group and the pcDNA3-TT-AKT + 7 Gy group. Cell proliferation ability was detected by using CCK-8 assay, cell cycle was detected by using flow cytometry, cell apoptosis was detected by using mitochondrial membrane potential assay, the relative expression levels of cell proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis and autophagy related proteins were tested by using Western blot.Results:Most of the normal HeLa cells in the 7 Gy group died on day 5 after radiation induction, and only a few surviving cells increased in size with multiple nuclei. The results of Western blot showed that the relative expression levels of p-AKT, p-mTOR and p-P70S6K in HeLa cells of the 7 Gy group were lower than those of the control group (all P < 0.05). CCK-8 assay showed that the absorbance ( A) values were 0.45±0.06, 0.65±0.06 after 48 h of culture and 0.75±0.05, 1.05±0.02 after 72 h of culture, respectively in the pcDNA3 + 7 Gy group and the pcDNA3-TT-AKT + 7 Gy group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05), and the A values in the pcDNA3-TT-AKT + 7 Gy group were all higher than those in the pcDNA3 +7 Gy group. Flow cytometry results showed that the proportion of cells was (29.2±3.6)%, (26.7±1.7)% in G 0/G 1 phase and (29.6±1.6)%, (30.3±0.6)% in G 2/M phase, respectively in the pcDNA3 + 7 Gy group and the pcDNA3-TT-AKT + 7 Gy group, and the differences were not statistically significant (all P > 0.05); the proportion of cells in S phase was (10.2±0.9)% and (14.6±1.5)%, respectively in the pcDNA3 + 7 Gy group and the pcDNA3-TT-AKT + 7 Gy group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t = 2.86, P = 0.043). Mitochondrial membrane potential assay showed that the green fluorescence proportion was (23.1±2.5)% and (14.3±1.9)%, respectively in the pcDNA3 + 7 Gy group and the pcDNA3-TT-AKT + 7 Gy group, and the different was statistically significant ( t = 4.82, P = 0.009). Western blot results showed that the relative expression level of p-cdc25c (Ser216) in the pcDNA3-TT-AKT+7 Gy group was higher than that in the pcDNA3+7 Gy group ( P < 0.001); and the relative expression levels of Bak and LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ in the pcDNA3-TT-AKT+7Gy group were lower than those in the pcDNA3 +7 Gy group, respectively (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:The p-AKT-mTOR-P70S6K signaling pathway may be involved in the regulation of radiation-induced polyploidy HeLa cell proliferation, cell cycle and cell apoptosis.

Objective:To construct an evidence-based prediction model for early recurrence after surgery of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on Meta-analysis and to do external validation study.Methods:The literatures in Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, VIP, Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD), Chinese Social Science Citation System (CCSCI), PubMed, Web of Science and IEEE databases between January 2019 and December 2023 were searched based on the subject words. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 9 literatures were included to screen the risk factors affecting the early recurrence of HCC. When the same risk factor was found in ≥5 included literatures, Meta-analysis was performed by using Review Manager 5.4.1 software. External validation data were collected from 401 patients with primary HCC who underwent surgery in Liaoning Cancer Hospital between March 2014 and March 2017. The patients were divided into early recurrence group (176 cases) and early non-recurrence group (225 cases) according to whether they relapsed 2 years after surgery. The OR values of all risk factors obtained in the Meta-analysis were converted into modeling, and postoperative early recurrence rate of HCC in the Meta-analysis was used to calculate β 0, and finally the logistic model was obtained. The OR value was incorporated into the logit (P) model, and the morbidity (P) of the external validation data was calculated. Taking the recurrence 2 years after surgery or not as the dependent variable and P as the independent variable, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to calculate the area under the curve (AUC). Results:A total of 8 risk factors for early HCC recurrence were screened out from 9 literatures (x 1: alpha-fetoprotein ≥ 400 ng/ml; x 2: tumor number ≥ 2; x 3: the longest tumor diameter ≥ 5 cm; x 4: Barcelona staging B-C; x 5: microvascular invasion; x 6: moderate to low differentiation; x 7: incomplete capsule; x 8: nonanatomic hepatectomy). The Meta-analysis included 1 757 HCC cases, with 960 postoperative early recurrences and an early recurrence rate of 45.36%, finally the β 0 value was -0.201. The predictive model for 2-year recurrence of HCC was constructed and calculated as logit (P) = -0.201+0.835x 1+0.905x 2+0.783x 3+1.008x 4+0.765x 5+0.831x 6+1.533x 7+0.940x 8. Analysis of variance by external validation data showed that the differences in ascites, alpha-fetoprotein, tumor number, tumor diameter, Barcelona staging, microvascular invasion, tumor differentiation degree, capsule invasion, resection type, and systemic inflammation index were statistically significant between early recurrence group and early non-recurrence group (all P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that AUC of postoperative early recurrence of HCC predicted by the model was 0.718, (95% CI: 0.689-0.753), the optimal cut-off value was 3.11, the Yoden index was 0.288, the sensitivity was 69.32%, and the specificity was 69.56%. Conclusions:The evidence-based prediction model constructed based on Meta-analysis for postoperative early recurrence of HCC has a high predictive value. However, further verification and optimization with big data is still needed.

Objective:
QL1604 is a highly selective, humanized monoclonal antibody against programmed death protein 1. We assessed the efficacy and safety of QL1604 plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with advanced cervical cancer.
Methods:
This was a multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase II study. Patients with advanced cervical cancer and not previously treated with systemic chemotherapy were enrolled to receive QL1604 plus paclitaxel and cisplatin/carboplatin on day 1 of each 21-day cycle for up to 6 cycles, followed by QL1604 maintenance treatment.
Results:
Forty-six patients were enrolled and the median follow-up duration was 16.5 months. An 84.8% of patients had recurrent disease and 13.0% had stage IVB disease. The objective response rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Advanced Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 was 58.7% (27/46). The immune ORR per immune RECIST was 60.9% (28/46).The median duration of response was 9.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI]=5.5–not estimable). The median progression-free survival was 8.1 months (95% CI=5.7–14.0). Fortyfive (97.8%) patients experienced treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). The most common grade≥3 TRAEs (>30%) were neutrophil count decrease (50.0%), anemia (32.6%), and white blood cell count decrease (30.4%).
Conclusion
QL1604 plus paclitaxel-cisplatin/carboplatin showed promising antitumor activity and manageable safety profile as first-line treatment in patients with advanced cervical cancer. Programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy may be a potential treatment option for the patient population who have contraindications or can’t tolerate bevacizumab, which needs to be further verified in phase III confirmatory study.
