Objective Bevacizumab has been clinically used in colorectal cancer,ovarian cancer,cervical cancer,non-small cell lung cancer and other tumor diseases.Common adverse reactions during bevacizumab treatment include albuminuria,thrombosis,bleeding,gastrointestinal perforation and hypertension,among which the incidence of hypertension is as high as 19％-47％.The occurrence of hypertension affects the quality of life of patients,hinds the normal development of tumor treatment,and even induces serious cardiovascular diseases and increases the risk of death,which requires clinical attention.In this paper,the mechanism,influencing factors,prognosis and related treatment of bevacizumab associated hypertension were reviewed,so as to provide reference for clinical rational drug use.

Objective Viral encephalitis is an infectious disease severely affecting human health.It is caused by a wide variety of viral pathogens,including herpes viruses,flaviviruses,enteroviruses,and other viruses.The laboratory diagnosis of viral encephalitis is a worldwide challenge.Recently,high-throughput sequencing technology has provided new tools for diagnosing central nervous system infections.Thus,In this study,we established a multipathogen detection platform for viral encephalitis based on amplicon sequencing. Methods We designed nine pairs of specific polymerase chain reaction(PCR)primers for the 12 viruses by reviewing the relevant literature.The detection ability of the primers was verified by software simulation and the detection of known positive samples.Amplicon sequencing was used to validate the samples,and consistency was compared with Sanger sequencing. Results The results showed that the target sequences of various pathogens were obtained at a coverage depth level greater than 20×,and the sequence lengths were consistent with the sizes of the predicted amplicons.The sequences were verified using the National Center for Biotechnology Information BLAST,and all results were consistent with the results of Sanger sequencing. Conclusion Amplicon-based high-throughput sequencing technology is feasible as a supplementary method for the pathogenic detection of viral encephalitis.It is also a useful tool for the high-volume screening of clinical samples.

Lung cancer， the most common malignant tumor， is characterized by a complex pathogenesis and high malignancy， and poses a significant threat to the health and lives of affected individuals. p53 signaling pathway plays a crucial role in the progression of lung cancer and is considered one of the potential targets for targeted therapy. In recent years， multiple studies have indicated that traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） can exert anticancer effects by modulating the p53 signaling pathway. Based on this， this article systematically summarizes the current status and progress of research on TCM intervening in lung cancer by regulating p53 signaling pathway. It was found that TCM formula and preparations， such as Qingjin desheng tablet， Tiaoqi xiaoji decoction， Bufei tongluo jiedu formula， Jianpi bushen formula and Yiqi fuzheng jiedu formula， can promote autophagy and apoptosis of lung cancer cells， inhibit the growth and metastasis of lung cancer cells and strengthen the immune function of the body by activating p53 signaling pathway， thereby inhibiting lung cancer. TCM monomers， such as pseudoginsenoside-Rh2， saikosaponin D， polyphyllin Ⅶ， dendrobiine， sophoridine， gambogic acid， triptolide and triptolide succinate monoester YJ-4， can accelerate cell apoptosis， inhibit the proliferation of lung cancer cells and regulate cell cycle by activating p53 signaling pathway， thereby inhibiting lung cancer.

Objective:To investigate the effect of the number of positive preoperative serological tumor markers on the surgical approach and prognosis of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:This is a retrospective case-series study. Data from 548 patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma after radical resection from October 2010 to April 2019 were retrospectively collected in 10 hospitals of China. There were 277 males and 271 females with an age of (57.8±10.2)years(range:23 to 84 years). Four hundred and twenty-six patients(77.7%) had at least one positive preoperative serum tumor marker. The data collection included the results of 4 preoperative serological tumor markers,other preoperative indicators(5 prodromal symptoms, 6 medical history,8 preoperative serological indicators,5 preoperative imaging indicators,and 14 preoperative pathological examination indicators),baseline data (gender and age),surgical methods,and prognostic follow-up data. Four preoperative results of serologic tumor marker and surgical procedure were converted into categorical variables. The number of positive preoperative serum tumor markers was used as the treatment variable,the surgical method was used as the mediating variable,and the survival time was used as the outcome variable. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to screen for other preoperative indicators which were independent factors that influenced the surgical procedure and the prognosis of patients as covariates to analyze the mediating effect.Results:Of the 548 patients included in the study, 176 patients (32.1%) underwent partial hepatectomy,151 patients(27.5%) underwent hemihepatectomy, and 221 patients(40.3%) underwent partial hepatectomy or hemihepatectomy combined with other treatments. The results of the univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the number of positive serum tumor markers,intrahepatic bile duct dilatation,portal vein invasion,pathological differentiation,pathological type,vascular invasion,T stage,N stage and maximum tumor diameter were independent factors influencing the surgical procedure(all P<0.05). Intrahepatic bile duct dilatation,pathological differentiation and T stage were independent prognostic factors for patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(all P<0.05). Intrahepatic bile duct dilatation,differentiation and T stage were included as covariates in the mediation effect model. The results showed that the number of positive serum tumor markers before surgery had a negative predictive effect on the survival time of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma ( β=-0.092, P=0.039),and had a positive predictive effect on the surgical method ( β=0.244, P<0.01). The number of positive serum tumor markers had a negative predictive effect on the survival time of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma ( β=-0.151, P=0.002). Direct and indirect effects accounted for 71.3% and 28.7% of total effects,respectively. Conclusions:The higher the positive number of preoperative tumor markers,the worse the prognosis of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The number of positive cells not only directly affects the prognosis of patients,but also indirectly affects the prognosis of patients by affecting the surgical method.

Objective To observe the feasibility of cardiac MR tissue tracking(CMR-TT)technique for quantitatively evaluating myocardial strain of patients with myocardial amyloidosis(CA).Methods Cardiac MRI were collected from 20 patients of immunoglobulin amyloid light-chain CA(AL-CA,group A),20 cases of transthyretin CA(ATTR-CA,group B)and 20 healthy subjects(group C),and myocardial strain parameters were obtained using CMR-TT technique.Left ventricular cardiac function parameters were compared among 3 groups,so were strain parameters of each myocardial segment of left ventricle and global myocardium,including 3D longitudinal strain(LS),3D radial strain(RS)and 3D circumferential strain(CS).Results Compared with those in group C,significant differences of left ventricular cardiac function parameters were found in both group A and B(all P＜0.01),while no statistical difference was found between group A and B(all P＞0.05).Except for apical segment RS(P=0.81),strain parameters in group A and B were both lower than those in group C(all P＜0.01),while no significant difference was detected between group A and B(all P＞0.05).Conclusion CMR-TT technique could be used to quantitatively evaluate left ventricular myocardial strain of CA patients.

Crohn's disease(CD)is an autoimmune intestinal disease characterised by chronic and non-specific inflammation,and the exact etiology and pathogenesis are still unclear.Neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin(NGAL),a secreted glycoprotein and isolated from neutrophils,is widely involved in pathophysiological processes such as intestinal inflammation response,apoptosis and tumour progression.It has been found that NGAL has the potential to be a clinical biological marker in clinical diagnosis and monitoring of CD activity.Therefore,this paper reviews the application value of NGAL in different clinical samples of CD,in order to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment of CD.

Background:Previous studies have proved that neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL)plays an important role in the progression of Crohn's disease(CD),and may serve as a potential biomarker for disease activity prediction,severity assessment,treatment response evaluation and prognosis monitoring.However,the diagnostic value of NGAL in perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease(pfCD)is still unclear.Aims:To investigate the serum level of NGAL and its diagnostic value in patients with active pfCD.Methods:A total of 66 patients diagnosed as pfCD from July 2021 to June 2023 at Longhua Hospital,Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were enrolled,including 36 active pfCD patients and 30 inactive pfCD patients.The disease activity and perianal fistula activity were assessed by Crohn's disease activity index(CDAI)and perianal disease activity index(PDAI),respectively.Serum NGAL,fecal calprotectin(FC),C-reactive protein(CRP),erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),as well as CDAI score and PDAI score were compared between the active and inactive pfCD patients,and the correlations of NGAL with the other parameters in active pfCD patients were analyzed.ROC curve was drawn to evaluate the values of serum NGAL,FC,CRP and ESR for diagnosis of active pfCD.Results:The serum NGAL,FC,CRP,ESR,CDAI score and PDAI score in active pfCD patients were significantly higher than those in inactive pfCD patients(all P＜0.001).NGAL was positively correlated with FC(r=0.64,P＜0.001),CRP(r=0.55,P＜0.001),ESR(r=0.53,P＜0.001),CDAI score(r=0.59,P＜0.001)and PDAI score(r=0.54,P＜0.001)in active pfCD patients.The optimal cut-off values of NGAL,FC,CRP and ESR were 220.5 μg/L,146.0 μg/g,7.9 mg/L and 23.5 mm/h,respectively,for the diagnosis of active pfCD,and the area under the curve were 0.922(95％CI:0.850-0.995),0.888(95％CI:0.806-0.970),0.853(95％CI:0.763-0.944)and 0.830(95％CI:0.731-0.930),respectively.Conclusions:Serum NGAL level is associated with the disease activity of pfCD,and can be used as a non-invasive biomarker for the clinical diagnosis of active pfCD.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Conclusions:The higher the positive number of preoperative tumor markers,the worse the prognosis of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The number of positive cells not only directly affects the prognosis of patients,but also indirectly affects the prognosis of patients by affecting the surgical method.
