Objective:To compare the surgical efficacy of pericardial soft ring tricuspid valvuloplasty with DeVega and artificial valvuloplasty.Methods:227 patients undergoing tricuspid valvuloplasty due to rheumatic heart disease complicated with functional tricuspid valve insufficiency were retrospectively analyzed and divided into 3 groups according to tricuspid valvuloplasty dynamic cohort(pericardial ring group, 89 cases; the artificial flap ring group, 61 cases, and the DeVega group, 77 cases) were matched 1∶1 for propensity score(match A: pericardial ring group and artificial flap ring group; match B: pericardial ring group and DeVega group), the successful matching was included in follow-up and data collection, and cases with incomplete case data during follow-up were removed from the study cohort in pairs according to matching conditions. The results of follow-up 1 month, 6 months and 24 months after surgery were compared.Results:1 month after operation: the tricuspid valve regurgitant in all groups was significantly reduced or even disappeared compared with that before operation, and the right atrium and right ventricle were also smaller than that before operation, with statistical significance( P<0.05). 6 months after surgery: There was no statistical significance in the area of tricuspid regurgitation and right atrial/indoor diameter between all groups compared with the results one month after surgery( P>0.05), and there was no statistical significance in the recurrence rate of tricuspid regurgitation between all groups( P>0.05). 24 months after surgery: There were no significant differences in the recurrence rate of tricuspid regurgitation, area of tricuspid regurgitation and right atrial/indoor diameter between the two groups in matching A( P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in the right atrial/indoor diameter between the matched pericardial ring group and the Devega group, but the tricuspid valve regurgentation area of the Devega group at 24 months after surgery was higher than that of the Devega group at 1 month after surgery, and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.05). The regurgitation area and recurrence rate of tricuspid valve were significantly higher than those of pericardium-TVP group( P<0.05). Conclusion:Pericardial soft ring tricuspid valvuloplasty can effectively correct functional tricuspid valvuloplasty and reverse right heart remodeling, which is an effective tricuspid valvuloplasty.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) subtypes in patients with cervical invasive cancer.Methods:Retrospective selection was conducted on hospitalized patients diagnosed with cervical invasive cancer by pathology at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2016 to December 2020, with complete relevant information. The age, histological classification, specific HPV infection types at the time of diagnosis of cervical cancer were recorded, and differences in HPV types and single and multiple infections in the squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma populations were analyzed. The coverage rate of bivalent, tetravalent, and ninvalent HPV vaccines in the cervical cancer population was analyzed.Results:A total of 231 cases of cervical invasive cancer that met the criteria were included, including 183 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 43 cases of adenocarcinoma, and 5 cases of other histological types. The positive rates of HPV infection in cervical cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma populations were 89.18%(206/231), 92.35%(169/183), and 74.42%(32/43), respectively. The top five types of HPV infection in cervical cancer patients were 16, 18, 58, 52, 31, and 33, respectively; The top five types of infection rate in squamous cell carcinoma patients were HPV16, 18, 58, 52, 31, and 33, respectively; Adenocarcinoma patients only detected 5 types of HPV, with the main types being HPV16 and 18. The infection rates of single HPV type in patients with cervical cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma were 77.49%(179/231), 79.23%(145/183), and 67.44%(29/43), respectively. The multiple infection rates were 11.69%(27/231), 13.11%(24/183), and 6.98%(3/43), respectively. The positive rate of HPV was higher in all age groups of cervical cancer. The coverage rates of bivalent, tetravalent, and ninvalent HPV vaccines covering different types of infections in cervical cancer populations were 66.67% to 74.03%, 67.53% to 74.89%, and 81.39% to 87.44%, respectively.Conclusions:The cervical cancer population is mainly affected by high-risk HPV single infection, mainly including HPV16, 18, 58, 52, 31, 33; The HPV infection rate in the squamous cell carcinoma population is higher than that in the adenocarcinoma group, with the main type being HPV16, while in the adenocarcinoma population, the main types are HPV16 and 18.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic efficacy of inflammatory biomarkers [neutrophil/lymphocyte (NLR), monocyte/lymphocyte (MLR), platelet/lymphocyte (PLR)] combined with tumor markers [carbohydrate antigen (CA)125, CA199] in mature cystic teratoma (MCT) patients possess torsion.Methods:The clinical data of patients with MCT diagnosed by surgery and pathology in the third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from March 2013 to October 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 31 MCT patients with torsion were included in observation group , another 101 MCT patients without torsion were assigned to the control group.Clinical characteristics and the levels of NLR, MLR, PLR, CA125, CA199 were assessed and analyzed.Results:The inflammatory biomarkers (NLR, MLR, PLR) and tumor markers (CA125) in the observation group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). Univariate regression analysis was used to screen variables with statistical significance, including NLR, PLR, CA125 and CA199 ( P<0.05), and multivariate logistic regression was used to construct a prediction model for diagnose MCT patients with torsion , which combined NLR and CA199 ( P<0.05). The area under curve (AUC) of NLR, PLR, CA125, CA199 and the combined prediction models of NLR and CA199 were 0.83, 0.72, 0.69, 0.60 and 0.86, respectively. Among them, the joint prediction model of NLR and CA199 had the highest diagnostic efficiency, with a sensitivity of 77.42% and a specificity of 82.18% ( P<0.05). In the observation group, the accuracy of combined prediction model of NLR and CA199 in the diagnosis of MCT pedicle torsion was higher than that of ultrasound (87.10% vs 61.29%), but according to the clinical symptoms and ultrasonic examination, 90.32% of the patients were diagnosed as MCT pedicle torsion. Conclusions:The inflammatory biomarkers and tumor markers have useful clinical significance in the diagnosis of MCT with torsion, especially the combine measurement of NLR and CA199. Associated with the patient's symptoms, signs, examination included doppler ultrasound may assist in improving the diagnostic accuracy .

Objective:
To verify the safety and efficacy of IONTRIS particle therapy system (IONTRIS) in clinical implementation.
Methods:
Between 6.2014 and 8.2014, a total of 35 patients were enrolled into this trial: 31 males and 4 females with a median age of 69 yrs (range 39-80). Ten patients had locally recurrent head and neck tumors after surgery, 4 cases with thoracic malignancies, 1 case with hepatocellular carcinoma, 1 case with retroperitoneal sarcoma, and 19 cases with non-metastatic prostate carcinomas. Phantom dose verification was mandatory for each field before the start of radiation.
Results:
Twenty-two patients received carbon ion and 13 had proton irradiation. With a median follow-up time of 1 year, all patients were alive. Among the 16 patients with head and neck, thoracic, and abdominal/pelvic tumors, 2, 1, 12, and 1 cases developed complete response, partial response, stable disease, or disease progression, respectively. Progression-free survival rate was 93.8% (15/16). Among the 19 patients with prostate cancer, biological-recurrence free survival was 100%. Particle therapy was well tolerated in all 35 patients. Twenty-five patients (71.4%) experienced 33 grade 1 acute adverse effects, which subsided at 1 year follow-up. Six (17.1%) patients developed grade 1 late adverse effects. No significant change in ECOG or body weight was observed.
Conclusions
IONTRIS is safe and effective for clinical use. However, long term follow-up is needed to observe the late toxicity and long term result.

Objective To analyze the results of survival and local regional control of early-stage breast cancer patients treated with breast-conserving surgery and whole breast radiation therapy, and to explore the factors influencing local control. Methods From October 1995 to September 2005,335 patients with early-stage breast cancer were treated with breast conservative therapy, including 25 with post-operative radiotherapy alone( group A), 194 with sequential chemo-radiotherapy( group B) ,80 with concurrent chemoradiotherapy( group C), and 36 with chemo-radio-chemotherapy (group D). Axillary dissection was performed in 312 patients and sentinel node biopsy in 2. Adjuvant chemotherapy was given to 310 patients. Radiation of 50 Gy in 25 fractions was delivered to the whole breast in 256 patients,and to the breast and regional nodes in 79. Another 10 Gy in 5 fractions was boosted to the tumor bed. The proportion of patients with surgery-radiation interval of less than 4 weeks,4-8 weeks,8-20 weeks and over 20 weeks was 16.4%, 23.6% ,37.3% and 22.7% ,respectively. Concurrent chemo-radiation and" sandwich" modality were delivered in 80 and 36 patients,respectively. Results The median follow-up was 48(25.3-146.7) months. The 5-year local-regional control and ipsilateral breast control rates were 94.5% and 95.6%, respectively. The 5-year disease-free survival,metastasis-free survival and overall survival rates were 88.6% ,93.2% and 98.8% ,respectively. Lymph-vascular invasion and neural invasion were significant factors influencing local control in univariate analysis. No significant differences were found in local control rates among different surgery-radiation intervals or different sequencing of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Multivariate analysis showed that lymph-vascular invasion and reexcision for positive or unknown margin were independent prognostic factors influencing local control. In group A + B, C and D, the frequency of grade Ⅲ skin toxicity was4.5%.80.0%.and 77.0%,respectively(χ2=226.00,P=0.000).Conclusiom Breast conservative therapy for early-stage breast eancer results in good local-regional control and overall survival.Lymph-vascular invasion and reexcision are independent prognostic factors for local control.Surgery-radiation interval and sequencing of radiotherapy and chemotherapy have no impact on local contr01.Grade Ⅲ skin toxicity of the concurTent radio.chemotherapy and the chemo.radio.chemotherapy group is significantly higher than that of the sequential chemotherapy-radiotherapy plus radiotherapy alone group.
