Objective:To explore the antitumor effect of ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine on diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and its mechanism.Methods:The 6-week-old female BALB/c mice were selected, and the bilateral murine subcutaneous B-cell lymphoma model was established with murine B-cell lymphoma A20 cells. The subcutaneous tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into untreated group (without treatment), ADU-S100 in situ vaccine treatment group (intratumoral injection of interferon gene stimulating factor agonist ADU-S100), doxorubicin in situ vaccine treatment group (intratumoral injection of doxorubicin), and ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine treatment group (intratumoral injection of ADU-S100 and doxorubicin) by using random number table method, with 5 mice in each group. The right tumors of the bilateral subcutaneous tumor-bearing mice were defined as proximal tumors, and the left tumors of the bilateral subcutaneous tumor-bearing mice were defined as distal tumors. Only the proximal tumors were treated via the intratumoral route, and the distal tumors were not treated. On day 23 after tumor inoculation, the percentages of CD11c + dendritic cells (DC), CD8 + CD11c + DC and CD80 + CD11c + DC in the spleen of mice in each group were detected by flow cytometry. The splenocytes of mice in each group were stimulated with A20 tumor cell lysate in vitro, the percentages of 5'-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine-positive (EdU +) cells and tumor necrosis factor-α-positive (TNF-α +) cells in CD8 + T cells in each in situ vaccine treatment group were detected by flow cytometry, and the killing effect of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) in each group was measured by using the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) cytotoxicity assay kit. The mice treated with ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine were intraperitoneally injected with anti-mouse CD8α (clone 53-6.7) mAb or isotype control on days 7, 12 and 17 after tumor inoculation to eliminate CD8 + cells. On day 23 after tumor inoculation, the proximal and distal tumor volumes of mice in the ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine combined with anti-mouse CD8α (clone 53-6.7) mAb or isotype control treatment group were measured, the percentages of CD8 + T cells and CD8 + CD11c + DC in the spleen of tumor-bearing mice in these two groups were detected by flow cytometry, and the infiltration of CD8 + T cells in the tumor tissues from these two groups was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. Results:On days 11, 14, 17, 20 and 23 after tumor inoculation, the proximal and distal tumor volumes of mice in each treated group were lower than those in the untreated group (all P < 0.05). The proportions of CD11c + DC in the spleen of the untreated group, ADU-S100 in situ vaccine treatment group, doxorubicin in situ vaccine treatment group and ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine treatment group were (4.92±0.63)%, (7.54±0.84)%, (7.45±0.86)% and (11.63±0.85)%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 72.30, P < 0.001); the proportions of CD8 + CD11c + DC were (1.36±0.34)%, (4.02±0.43)%, (4.22±0.61)% and (6.11±0.73)%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 76.09, P < 0.001); the proportions of CD80 + CD11c + DC were (0.51±0.24)%, (1.69±0.23)%, (1.82±0.25)% and (4.09±0.39)%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 167.40, P < 0.001). The CTL responses and the proportion of EdU + cells and TNF-α + cells in CD8 + T cells in each in situ vaccine treatment group were higher than those in the untreated group (all P < 0.05). Furthermore, the enhanced CTL responses and the increased proportion of EdU + cells and TNF-α + cells in CD8 + T cells were observed in the ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine treatment group as compared to the ADU-S100 in situ vaccine treatment group and doxorubicin in situ vaccine treatment group (all P < 0.05). The proportions of CD8 + T cells and CD8 + CD11c + DC in the spleen of mice treated with ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine and anti-mouse CD8α mAb were lower than those in ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine and isotype control group (both P < 0.05) and both proximal and distal tumor volumes of mice treated with ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine and anti-mouse CD8α mAb were larger than those in ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine and isotype control group (both P < 0.05). Conclusions:ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine can induce profound regression of proximal tumors in bilateral murine subcutaneous B-cell lymphoma model and generate systemic immune responses capable of partially inhibiting distant tumor growth, and the antitumor efficacy of ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine may require CD8 + CD11c + DC-mediated CD8 + T cell immune responses.

Objectives:To analyze the safety and clinical effect of airway diagnosis in multifactor suspicious difficult airway patients with complex mouth restriction after entering the operating room.Methods:From March 2018 to May 2023, a total of 21 patients with suspicious difficult airway with complex mouth restriction were collected from the Northwest Women′s and Children′s Hospital and the Third Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University, who were evaluated according to LEMON airway evaluation rule. Ventilation capacity score, airway airway score with soft vision mirror and comprehensive airway score of difficult airway were performed after admission to the operating room. Patients diagnosed with non-difficult airway were divided into group N and patients diagnosed with difficult airway were divided into group D. The number and proportion of patients in the two groups were counted, and the process of airway diagnosis, the way of airway establishment, the results, the frequency of hypoventilation during airway establishment, the number of intubation, and the time of airway establishment were analyzed.Results:A total of 15 patients in group N, accounting for 71.4%, underwent rapid intravenous induction nasal intubation after diagnosis of non-difficult airway, and the intubation was successful all the time. No hypoventilation occurred in all patients during intubation. A total of 6 patients in the group D, accounting for 28.6%, were assisted by pure oxygen mask ventilation after diagnosis of difficult airway, and underwent awake nasotracheal intubation after recovery. 4 patients were successfully intubated once, 2 patients were successfully intubated twice, and 1 patient experienced one hypopnea during the evaluation of ventilation capacity. The airway establishment time of the group N was (9.3±0.8)min, and that of the group D was (20.0±2.0)min, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The airway establishment time of all patients was (12.0±5.0)min, and the awake intubation time was (12.0±0.7.0)min. The proportion of patients satisfied with anesthesia in the group N was higher than that in the group D, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). No agitation during sevoflurane induction or recovery was observed in both groups. Conclusions:The diagnosis procedure of difficult airway can be safely applied to patients with multi-factor suspicious difficult airway with complex mouth restriction. Most of these patients do not have truly difficult airways; The application of difficult airway diagnosis procedures in these patients can significantly reduce unnecessary awake endotracheal intubation; Compared with the direct choice of awake intubation, following the difficult airway diagnosis procedure does not increase airway establishment time in such patients.

Fibroblast growth factors (FGF) are a group of structurally related polypeptides which constitute an elaborate signaling system with their receptors. Evidence accumulated in the years suggests that the FGF family plays a key role in the repair of central nervous system injury. The main protective mechanisms include activating the expression of PI3K-Akt, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPARγ) and other signals; inhibiting NF-κB-mediated inflammatory response, oxidative stress and apoptosis; regulating neuronal differentiation and neuronal excitability as well as participating in protection of neurovascular units and nerve function repair. This paper comprehensively summarizes the latest research progress in FGF signaling related to diseases of the central nervous system such as cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and depression, aiming to provide scientific basis and reference for the development of innovative FGF drugs for the prevention and treatment of neurological diseases.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between number of daily steps and insomnia in patients with chronic insomnia using "WeChat Sports" program.Methods:A total of 190 patients with insomnia who received treatment in Department of Neurology, Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated Wenzhou Hospital between October 2017 and October 2019. General data (age, sex, body mass index, history of smoking and alcohol use) and the number of daily steps recorded by "WeChat Sports" program were collected. Patients whose average number of daily steps was greater than 7500 were assigned to the sufficient exercise group ( n = 68), and the remaining patients were assigned to the insufficient exercise group ( n = 122). Patient symptoms were assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), The Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and generalized Anxiety Disorder scale-7. Scale evaluation and data collection were performed by two trained investigators. Data were compared between the two groups. The correlation between average number of daily steps and each scale score was analyzed. Results:Total PSQI score in the sufficient exercise group was significantly lower than that in the insufficient exercise group [(12.94 ± 3.14) points vs. (14.93 ± 2.99) points, t = 4.31, P < 0.001]. Scores of subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, habitual sleep efficiency, use of sleep medication, and daytime dysfunction were significantly lower in the sufficient exercise group than those in the insufficient exercise group ( P = 0.011, 0.008, 0.025, 0.039, 0.006). The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 scores in the sufficient exercise group were significantly lower than those in the insufficient exercise group ( P = 0.011, P = 0.002). The average number of daily steps was significantly negatively correlated with total PSQI score, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 score, and score of each PSQI component (subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, habitual sleep efficiency, and daytime dysfunction) ( r = -0.29, -0.16, -0.19, -0.24, -0.15, -0.18, -0.23). Conclusion:Insomnia patients with insufficient daily exercise have more serious insomnia and emotional symptoms than those with sufficient daily exercise. Daily average exercise is correlated with the severity of insomnia and emotional symptom.

Objective:To evaluate the differential diagnostic efficacy of a predictive model of breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS) classification combined with mammography radiomics classifier for various X-ray phenotype of breast lesions.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 2 055 female patients who underwent mammography examination and were confirmed by pathology from May 2013 to August 2020 in Zhongda Hospital, Southeast University. Breast lesion was classified into mass or non-mass according to the fifth edition of BI-RADS. The mass was further divided into small mass (maximum diameter ≤ 2 cm) and large mass (maximum diameter>2 cm), the non-mass was further divided into asymmetric, calcification and structural distortions. By manually segmenting the region of interest of the lesion, the radiomics features were extracted and the model was constructed. Receiver operating characteristic curve and area under the curve (AUC) were used to assess the diagnostic efficacy of the BI-RADS classification, the radiomics model and the combined model for various phenotypes of breast lesions. Differences among the AUC were analyzed by the DeLong test.Results:The AUCs based on the BI-RADS classification, the radiomics model and the combined model were 0.924±0.006, 0.827±0.009 and 0.947±0.005 respectively. Compared with BI-RADS classification and the radiomics model, AUC of the combined model was the highest, and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=9.29, 14.94, P<0.001). For large mass, small mass and non-mass, combined model (AUC=0.958±0.007, 0.933±0.013, 0.939±0.008) showed the best performance when compared to the BI-RADS classification (AUC=0.937±0.010, 0.896±0.020, 0.916±0.011; Z=5.32, 3.90, 5.08, P<0.001) or the radiomics model (AUC=0.872±0.012, 0.851±0.021, 0.758±0.016; Z=7.86, 4.53, 12.13, P<0.001). The AUC of the combined model for benign and malignant asymmetric breast lesions (0.897±0.017) was higher than that of the BI-RADS classification (AUC=0.866±0.020, Z=4.27, P<0.001) and the radiomics model (AUC=0.633±0.029, Z=7.44, P<0.001); however, the AUC of the combined model for benign and malignant calcification and structural distortion of breast lesions (0.971±0.010, 0.811±0.057, respectively) was only higher than that of the radiomics model (AUC=0.827±0.021, 0.586±0.075, Z=7.40, 3.15, P<0.001), and there was no significant difference with the BI-RADS classification (AUC=0.959±0.012, 0.800±0.061, Z=1.87, 0.39, P>0.05). Conclusion:The combined model shows better differential diagnostic performance, which is valued in the clinical application.

Objective To study the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of torsion of testes in newborn. Method Neonates who were diagnosed with neonatal testicular torsion and admitted to Shenzhen Children's Hospital from March 2008 to July 2018 were studied. The clinical data such as days in age, time of onset, clinical manifestations, time of ultrasound examination, characteristics of ultrasound examination, surgery time, surgical types, postoperative conditions, pathological findings, and follow-up results were retrospectively analyzed. Result A total of 12 infants with torsion of testes were enrolled. The average onset time was 2.9 d, ranged from 1~10 d. The time of onset was within 24 h after birth in six infants. The median duration from onset to seeing a doctor was 3.5 d, ranged from 2 h to 28 d. First manifestations being reported grammer were scrotal swelling or mass, including 7 cases on the left side and 5 cases on the right side. Among them, 9 cases were associated with redness or cyanosis of the scrotum. Ultrasound was characterized by the disappearance or significant reduction of testicular parenchymal blood flow signal, and the sensitivity of ultrasound was 100%. The average time from admission to operation was (2.1±1.1) h. All the 12 infants had orchiectomy,after necrosis of unilateral testicle was confirmed. Eight of them underwent contralateral test icular fixation. The average operation time was 46 min. There was no wound bleeding or infection postoperatively, and the average hospital stay was 6.4 d. The pathological features were blurred residual contour of the seminiferous tubule (9 cases) or the disappearance of the seminiferous tubule structure (3 cases). After 3 to 24 months of follow-up, no contralateral testicular torsion or atrophy was found. Conclusion The rate of testicular necrosis in children with torsion of testes is high. The newborn with scrotal swelling should be diagnosed promptly with color Doppler ultrasound. If necessary, surgical exploration should be performed in time.
