OBJECTIVE To provide reference for clinically safe drug use by mining oxaliplatin-related adverse drug events （ADE） of the nervous system. METHODS Oxaliplatin-related neurologic ADE data reported by the FDA adverse event reporting system （FAERS） between January 1st， 2004 and December 31st， 2022 were collected. The reporting odds ratio and proportional reporting ratio were used for data mining. The data were classified statistically by using systematic organ classification， high-level group term （HLGT） and preferred term （PT） in the MedDRA （version 26.0）. RESULTS A total of 7 266 cases of oxaliplatin- related ADE， which were classified as various neurological， were retrieved， and 100 PT were identified. Of these， fifty-seven PT were unspecified adverse reaction signals in the manual. Among these reports， males （46.85%） were more than females （42.98%）， the age of patients was 45-＜75 years （65.22%）， the number of reports was highest in Italy （16.32%）， and the severe type was hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization （38.16%）. The top 5 PT reports in the list of case number were peripheral neuropathy， paresthesia， neurotoxicity， loss of consciousness and dysarthria. The top 5 PT reports in the list of signal intensities were cold- induced paresthesia， neuromuscular rigidity， acute polyneuropathy， neuronal neuropathy， axonal and demyelinating polyneuropathy. A total of 13 HLGT were involved， with neurological diseases （not classified separately） having the highest number of signals （29）. CONCLUSIONS When using oxaliplatin in clinical practice， it is not only necessary to monitor the high incidence of acute and chronic peripheral neuropathy， but also to pay attention to the patient’s consciousness state and neurological symptoms. We should pay attention to the rare types of adverse reactions， such as guillain-barre syndrome， Lhermitte sign， posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome， and hyperammoniacal encephalopathy， so as to ensure the safety of medication.

Objective To investigate the compatible stability of esketamine hydrochloride,sufentanil citrate,butorphanol tartrate,and metoclopramide in 0.9%sodium chloride injection,and to provide a reference for the rational use of medication for postoperative analgesia.Methods The four drugs were compounded by simulating the clinical concentrations of the drugs,and the samples were taken at 0,4,8,12,24 and 48 h under light-shielded and light-exposed conditions at room temperature.The appearance,pH value,relative drug content,and insoluble particles were determined.Results The appearance of esketamine hydrochloride,sufentanil citrate,butorphanol tartrate,and metoclopramide concoction was clear at 48 h.The pH values were in the range of 4.69 to 4.79,and the relative drug content of the four drugs were in the range of 95%to 105%.The number of insoluble particles exceeded the specified range in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2020 edition)at 4 h and 8 h.Conclusions Under light-shielded and light-exposed conditions at room temperature,the appearance,pH value and relative drug content of the compounded solution remained stable for 48 h.However,the number of insoluble particles exceeded the specified standard.Therefore,it is not recommended to mix the above 4 drugs with 0.9%sodium chloride injection for use in analgesic pumps.

During the gene editing process mediated by CRISPR/Cas9, precise genome editing and gene knock-in can be achieved by the homologous recombination of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) donor template. However, the low-efficiency of homologous recombination in eukaryotic cells hampers the development and application of this gene editing strategy. Here, we developed a novel CRISPR/Cas9-hLacI donor adapting system (DAS) to enhance the dsDNA-templated gene editing, taking the advantage of the specific binding of the LacI repressor protein and the LacO operator sequence derived for the Escherichia coli lactose operon. The codon-humanized LacI gene was fused as an adaptor to the Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 (SpCas9) and Staphylococcus lugdunensis Cas9 (SlugCas9-HF) genes, and the LacO operator sequence was used as the aptamer and linked to the dsDNA donor template by PCR. The Cas9 nuclease activity after the fusion and the homology-directed repair (HDR) efficiency of the LacO-linked dsDNA template were firstly examined using surrogate reporter assays with the corresponding reporter vectors. The CRISPR/Cas9-hLacI DASs mediated genome precise editing were further checked, and we achieved a high efficiency up to 30.5% of precise editing at the VEGFA locus in HEK293T cells by using the CRISPR/SlugCas9-hLacI DAS. In summary, we developed a novel CRISPR/Cas9-hLacI DAS for dsDNA-templated gene editing, which enriches the CRISPR/Cas9-derived gene editing techniques and provides a novel tool for animal molecular design breeding researches.

We conducted a prospective study to assess the non-inferiority of adjuvant chemotherapy alone versus adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) as an alternative strategy for patients with early-stage (FIGO 2009 stage IB-IIA) cervical cancer having risk factors after surgery. The condition was assessed in terms of prognosis, adverse effects, and quality of life. This randomized trial involved nine centers across China. Eligible patients were randomized to receive adjuvant chemotherapy or CCRT after surgery. The primary end-point was progression-free survival (PFS). From December 2012 to December 2014, 337 patients were subjected to randomization. Final analysis included 329 patients, including 165 in the adjuvant chemotherapy group and 164 in the adjuvant CCRT group. The median follow-up was 72.1 months. The three-year PFS rates were both 91.9%, and the five-year OS was 90.6% versus 90.0% in adjuvant chemotherapy and CCRT groups, respectively. No significant differences were observed in the PFS or OS between groups. The adjusted HR for PFS was 0.854 (95% confidence interval 0.415-1.757; P = 0.667) favoring adjuvant chemotherapy, excluding the predefined non-inferiority boundary of 1.9. The chemotherapy group showed a tendency toward good quality of life. In comparison with post-operative adjuvant CCRT, adjuvant chemotherapy treatment showed non-inferior efficacy in patients with early-stage cervical cancer having pathological risk factors. Adjuvant chemotherapy alone is a favorable alternative post-operative treatment.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy by using domestic recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone (rhTSH) in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) before or after 131I therapy. Methods:From May 2019 to November 2020, a total of 24 patients with DTC (5 males, 19 females, median age 41 years) in Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Zhengzhou University were enrolled into the open-label, dose escalation phase Ⅰ study. All patients were divided into 4 domestic rhTSH dose groups: 0.9 mg×1 d (group A), 0.9 mg×2 d (group B), 1.8 mg×1 d (group C), 1.8 mg×2 d (group D) in succession, with 6 patients in each group. Each patient underwent rhTSH phase and thyroid hormone withdrawal (THW) phase. The end point included safety, tolerability, the quality of life (hypothyroidism symptom and sign score (Billewicz score), profile of mood states (POMS)), effectiveness (thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroglobulin (Tg) levels, diagnostic whole-body scan (Dx-WBS)) and pharmacokinetic characteristics (peak time, peak concentration) of rhTSH. Paired t test and Wilcoxon signed rank test were used for statistical analysis. Results:There were no dose-limiting toxicities, serious adverse events, or no grade ≥3 adverse events reported. The quality of life in rhTSH phase was significantly better than those in THW phase, including the lower Billewicz score (-53.00(-53.00, -53.00) vs -39.50(-47.00, -23.00); S=119.50, P<0.001) and the lower POMS score (91.92±12.06 vs 99.67±19.13; t=0.95, P=0.025). Serum TSH level was increased from 0.04(0.02, 0.11) mU/L (baseline) to 150.00(105.20, 173.31) mU/L 24 h after the last rhTSH administration, which was increased along with the elevation of rhTSH doses. In the THW phase, patients′ TSH levels were≥30 mU/L after 23 d (median) of THW, with the median of 73.51(57.22, 106.22) mU/L. Median Tg level of baseline was 0.10(0.10, 0.41) μg/L, which reached a peak of 0.85(0.12, 3.01) μg/L at 48 h after rhTSH administration. The peak Tg level in the THW phase was 0.88(0.15, 8.04) μg/L. The Dx-WBS consistency rate between rhTSH and THW phase was 95.8%(23/24). Conclusion:rhTSH is a safe and effective method to stimulate the serum Tg level and radioiodine uptake in patients undergoing post-operation or post- 131I assessment for DTC, as well as maintain a higher quality of life in comparison to THW phase.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics, curative effect and prognosis of myeloid sarcoma. Methods The clinical data of 12 patients with MS diagnosed at Xijing Hospital of Air Force Medical University from August 2008 to May 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Their clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and survival were analyzed. Results Twelve patients were 17 to 62 years old. The initial site included lymph node, external auditory canal, eye, buttock, lung, liver, pancreas, breast,skin, vertebra and its surroundings,and cervix. Among 11 patients with peripheral blood classification, bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow biopsy, 6 cases were isolated MS [one of which developed acute myeloid leukemia (AML)], 1 case was chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase, 2 cases were AML-M2, and 1 case was myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and 1 case was after aplastic anemia (AA) with no infiltration of bone marrow. Immunohistochemical results showed that LCA(+) (7/7), MPO(+) (12/12), CD43(+) (9/9), lysozyme(+) (5/7), CD3(-) (8/8), CD20(-) (9/9), CD34(+) (5/6), CD117(+) (7/7), and Ki-67(+) 30%-90%. Four patients were examined for bone marrow chromosomes, 2 patients with AML had t (8;21), 1 patient with MDS was 47, XX, +8, del(11)(q21), and 1 patient with CML was t(9;22). Two of the 12 patients were lost to follow-up. Among the 10 patients who were followed up, 6 died and 4 survived, and the median survival time was 21 months (2-27 months). Conclusions AA in stable phase with MS and CML in chronic phase with MS are rarely reported. The clinical manifestations of MS patients are varied, of which the common incidence sites are superficial lymph nodes, the infrequent sites are vertebra and its surrounding areas, and the rare sites are eye, pancreas, lung, liver, etc. The median survival time of MS patient is short and the curative effect is poor.

Objective To investigate the expression of bone marrow γ-H2AX in the patients with multiple myeloma(MM) and its correlation with the prognosis.Methods The patients with newly diagnosed MM in this hospital were selected as the case group,and the patients with non-hemopoietic system tumor without obvious morphological abnormalities by bone marrow smear and biopsy served as the control group.The immunohistochemistry was adopted to detect the expression level of bone marrow γ-H2AX in the cases group and control group,the image-Pro Plus(IPP) semiquantitative analysis was performed.The expression differences were compared between the two groups,moreover the case group was re-divided into the strong expression group and weak expression group according to γ-H2AX expression level.Then the relation ship between γ-H2AX expression level and the prognosis in the patients with MM.Results The bone marrow γ-H2AX expression level in the case group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P＜0.05);the level of γ-H2AX expression in the strong expression group was significantly stronger than that in the weak expression group (P＜0.05).Conclusion The level of γ-H2AX expression was higher among MM patients,and the over expression of γ-H2AX predicts the shorter survival time.

Objective To observe the clinical value of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) combined with iGuide system in percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy (PTNB) of pulmonary lesions.Methods A total of 30 patients with solitary lung lesion underwent PTNB procedures were enrolled.The needle path was planned with iGuide system and 3D CT-like MPR images after CBCT.A coaxial system with 18-gauge cutting needle was used for biopsy.Procedure related data,complications and radiation exposure of patients were recorded.Results Among 30 patients,malignant lesions were found in 24,and benign lesions were in 6 patients.On PTNB,28 patients were correctly diagnosed,1 case was with insufficient samples but obtained correct pathologic result with second biopsy,1 case was false-negative finding.The diagnostic accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of PTNB in diagnosis of lung diseases was 96.67％ (29/30),96.00％ (24/25),100％ (5/5),100％ (24/24) and 83.33％ (5/6),respectively.The mean procedure time was (13.03+3.61)min,and exposure dose was (7.95+4.57)mSv.After PTNB procedures,pneumothorax and hemoptysis occurred in 6 (6/30,20.00％) and 3 (3/30,10.00％) patients,respectively.Conclusion CBCT combined with iGuide system for guiding PTNB is accurate and safe with reasonable radiation exposure.

Objective To observe the effect of FOCUS-PDCA on the unplanned extubation (UEX) in ICU patients. Methods About 237 ICU patients during Jan. to Dec. 2014 were assigned as the control group, where the FOCUS-PDCA program was not used. Another 235 patients during Jan. to Dec. 2015 were assigned as the study group, where the the FOCUS-PDCA program was used. The two groups were compared in view of unplanned extubation rate and nurse's comprehensive ability. Result Compared with the control group, hospitalization time was comprehensively shortened in the observation group and the nurses comprehensive abibity increased (all P<0.05). Conclusion The FOCUS-PDCA program can prevent UEX in ICU patients, reduce the rate of UEX, improve the comprehensive ability of nurses and the quality of nursing.

Objective To explore the value of applying multiple disciplinary team (MDT) in the clinical practice teaching of lymphoma. Methods 5-year program clinical medicine undergraduate students of 2012 were divided into experimental and control group randomly, with 30 cases in each group. The ex-perimental group received MDT in clinical teaching through MDT conference and cases analysis. The control group received conventional teaching mainly by smal class presentation and ward round . The effect of teaching was evaluated by examination and questionnaire. The data were analyzed through t-test and chi-square test by SPSS 20.0 software. Results The results showed the students' scores of the theory knowledge test of two groups were similar to each other, but the scores of discussional topic and clinical cases analysis were higher in experimental group than control group and statistically difference [(16.5 ±2.3)vs. (10.5 ±1.8);(37.5±2.5) vs.(27.5±1.8)], (P=0.000), and the final score of two groups showed statistically difference (93.5± 5.2 vs. 76.0 ±6.2) (P=0.000). Meanwhile, questionnaire survey of satisfaction showed that 27 students of experimental group (90.0%) were interested in this new teaching model, 29 students (96.7%) believed it im-proved understanding and memory to the process of lymphoma diagnosis and treatment, 25 students (83.3%) believed it could improved the ablility to diagnose and differential diagnose lymphoma and expanded their clinical view. 28 students (93.3%) had consolidated clinical thinking, and 26 students (86.7%) improved negotiation with patients. All issues were significantly better than control group (P<0.05). Conclusions The clinical teaching model innovation based on MDT could help medical students use the cross-discipinary interviewing and make optimal treatment plan for patients. It is conducive to the cultivation of their diagnosis, differential diagnosis and clinical thinking ability, which is worthy of promotion in hematological clinical teaching.
