Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of recombinant human anti-severe acute respiratory syn-drome coronavirus 2(anti-SARS-CoV-2)monoclonal antibody injection(F61 injection)in the treatment of patients with coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)combined with renal damage.Methods Patients with COVID-19 and renal damage who visited the PLA General Hospital from January to February 2023 were selected.Subjects were randomly divided into two groups.Control group was treated with conventional anti-COVID-19 therapy,while trial group was treated with conventional anti-COVID-19 therapy combined with F61 injection.A 15-day follow-up was conducted after drug administration.Clinical symptoms,laboratory tests,electrocardiogram,and chest CT of pa-tients were performed to analyze the efficacy and safety of F61 injection.Results Twelve subjects(7 in trial group and 5 in control group)were included in study.Neither group had any clinical progression or death cases.The ave-rage time for negative conversion of nucleic acid of SARS-CoV-2 in control group and trial group were 3.2 days and 1.57 days(P=0.046),respectively.The scores of COVID-19 related target symptom in the trial group on the 3rd and 5th day after medication were both lower than those of the control group(both P＜0.05).According to the clinical staging and World Health Organization 10-point graded disease progression scale,both groups of subjects improved but didn't show statistical differences(P＞0.05).For safety,trial group didn't present any infusion-re-lated adverse event.Subjects in both groups demonstrated varying degrees of elevated blood glucose,elevated urine glucose,elevated urobilinogen,positive urine casts,and cardiac arrhythmia,but the differences were not statistica-lly significant(all P＞0.05).Conclusion F61 injection has initially demonstrated safety and clinical benefit in trea-ting patients with COVID-19 combined with renal damage.As the domestically produced drug,it has good clinical accessibility and may provide more options for clinical practice.

Objective:To evaluate the risk factors for the formation of parastomal Hernias(PSH)using meta-analysis,and to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of PSH.Methods:Case control or Cohort study of PSH risk factors were collected by searching PubMed,CNKI,Wanfang data and other databases.Extract relevant data and perform meta-analysis using RevMan 5.3.Results:The results included a total of 16 studies,with a total sample size of 2411 cases,including 670 in the PSH group and 1741 in the non PSH group.The results showed that advanced age,female gender,BMI≥25,hypertension,COPD/chronic cough,diabetes,and postoperative Hypoproteinemia could increase the risk of PSH(P＜0.05);Smoking,previous ab-dominal surgery history,preoperative radiotherapy/chemotherapy etc.,were not significantly asso-ciated with the occurrence of PSH(P＞0.05).Conclusion:The current evidence shows that ad-vanced age,female gender,BMI≥25,hypertension,COPD/chronic cough,diabetes,postoperative Hypoproteinemia are risk factors for PSH,and extraperitoneal stoma can reduce the occurrence of PSH.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of placental mesenchymal stem cells(P-MSCs)on pancreatic trauma(PT)in rats.Methods Sixty healthy adult male SD rats were randomly divided into control group,pancreatic trauma group(inject 1 ml of PBS solution locally in the pancreatic injury area and around the trauma area),and P-MSCs group[inject 1 ml of P-MSCs(1×106/ml)locally in the pancreatic injury area and around the trauma area],with 20 rats in each group.The pancreatic trauma rat model was established using a traumatic pressure of 400 kPa.Five rats were sacrificed at 1,3,5,and 7 d after modeling in each group,and serum and pancreatic tissue were collected.HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of pancreatic tissue and pathological scores were performed.The ELISA method was used to measure the concentrations of serum amylase(AMS),lipase(LPS),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6),IL-10,and transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1),as well as the activities of myeloperoxidase(MPO)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)in pancreatic tissue.The TUNEL method was used to observe the level of apoptosis in pancreatic tissue was observed by the TUNEL method.Results Compared with control group,pancreatic trauma group and P-MSCs group showed significant differences after pancreatic trauma,including the generation of peritoneal fluid increased(P<0.05),the ratio of pancreas to body weight and the total score of pancreatic tissue pathological damage increased(P<0.05),and serum levels of AMS,LPS,TNF-α,IL-6,and MPO activity increased early and showed a decreasing trend over time(P<0.05),while anti-inflammatory factors IL-10 and SOD activity showed an increasing trend over time(P<0.01),level of TGF-β1 in the early decline showed an upward trend over time(P<0.01),and the apoptosis index(AI)significantly increased(P<0.001).Compared with pancreatic trauma group,P-MSCs group showed an improvement in the overall morphology of pancreatic tissue,the generation of peritoneal fluid decreased(P<0.001),the pancreas to body weight ratio and the total score of pancreatic tissue pathological damage decreased(P<0.05),and serum levels of AMS,LPS,IL-6,TNF-α and MPO activity returned to normal levels faster(P<0.05);and the rate of anti-inflammatory factors IL-10,TGF-β1 and SOD activity elevation increased(P<0.05),the AI increased(P<0.001).Conclusion P-MSCs can achieve therapeutic effects on pancreatic trauma in rats by promoting pancreatic tissue repair,reducing local and systemic inflammation,improving tissue oxidative stress,and enhancing pancreatic acinar cell apoptosis.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of early surgical treatment for spinal thoracolumbar fracture without nerve injury.Methods The clinical data of 80 patients with spinal thoracolumbar fracture without nerve injury who were admitted to the department of spinal surgery in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.According to the different operation timing,those who underwent surgery within 72 hours after fracture were included in the early operation group(n=41),and those who underwent surgery 72 hours to 2 weeks after fracture were included in the elective operation group(n=39).All operations were performed through the Wiltse approach for short-segment pedicle screw fixation on the injured vertebra.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,hospital stay and incidence of complication of the two groups were compared.The visual analogue scale(VAS)scores,Oswestry disability index(ODI),compression rate of the anterior edge height of the injured vertebra,and the Cobb angle in the sagittal position of the injured vertebra before surgery,1 week after surgery and 1 year after surgery were compared between the two groups.The improvement rates of the anterior edge height compression and the Cobb angle in the sagittal position of the injured vertebra 1 week and 1 year after surgery were compared between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference in the operation time,intraoperative blood loss or total incidence of complications between the two groups(P>0.05).The hospital stay in the early operation group was shorter than that in the elective operation group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The VAS scores and ODI 1 week and 1 year after surgery of the two groups were better than those before surgery,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the VAS scores or ODI at each time point before and after surgery between the two groups(P>0.05).The compression rate of the anterior edge height and Cobb angle in the sagittal position of the injured vertebra 1 week and 1 year after surgery in the two groups were lower/smaller than those before surgery,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the compression rate of the anterior edge height or Cobb angle before surgery in the sagittal position of the injured vertebrae between the two groups(P>0.05).The compression rate of the anterior edge height and Cobb angle in the sagittal position of the injured vertebra 1 week and 1 year after surgery in the early operation group were lower/smaller than those in the elective operation group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The improvement rates of the anterior edge height compression and the Cobb angle in the sagittal position of the injured vertebra 1 week and 1 year after surgery in the early operation group were better than those in the elective operation group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Early surgical treatment for spinal thoracolumbar fracture without nerve damage is safe,it can significantly shorten hospitalization time,obtain good fracture reduction quality and definite therapeutic effects.However,a comprehensive preoperative evaluation of the patients' condition is necessary to ensure surgical safety.

Objective:This study aims to evaluate the impact of Diagnosis-Related-Groups(DRGs)payment on the average total cost,length of stay,service volume,effectiveness,and characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)hospitals.Methods:A national medical center specializing in TCM was selected as the research subject.The Difference-in-Difference Model(DID)was utilized to analyze the differences in various indicators between insured patients(intervention group)and uninsured patients(control group)before and after the implementation of the payment reform policy.The reliability and stability of the model were verified through parallel trend tests and placebo tests.Results:The coefficients of DID interaction terms for eleven indicators including average total hospitalization cost,number of cases,length of stay,proportion of medical service revenue,and proportion of herbal medicine revenue were significant(P<0.05).The DID interaction term coefficients for four indicators including herbal medicine usage rate and proportion of non-pharmacological TCM therapy revenue were not significant(P>0.05).Conclusion:DRG payment significantly reduced the per-admission cost,with significant decreases in consumables and medical technology expenses,optimizing cost structure,and a slight decrease in the proportion of herbal medicine costs.It is necessary to further expand the sample size,track policy impacts,and comprehensively evaluate the effects of DRG payment on TCM hospitals in China.

Objective To explore the biomarkers and potential mechanisms of chronic restraint stress-induced myocardial injury in hyperlipidemia ApoE-/-mice.Methods The hyperlipidemia combined with the chronic stress model was established by restraining the ApoE-/-mice.Proteomics and bioinformatics techniques were used to describe the characteristic molecular changes and related regulatory mechanisms of chronic stress-induced myocardial injury in hyperlipidemia mice and to explore potential diagnostic biomarkers.Results Proteomic analysis showed that there were 43 significantly up-regulated and 58 sig-nificantly down-regulated differentially expressed proteins in hyperlipidemia combined with the restraint stress group compared with the hyperlipidemia group.Among them,GBP2,TAOK3,TFR1 and UCP1 were biomarkers with great diagnostic potential.KEGG pathway enrichment analysis indicated that fer-roptosis was a significant pathway that accelerated the myocardial injury in hyperlipidemia combined with restraint stress-induced model.The mmu_circ_0001567/miR-7a/Tfr-1 and mmu_circ_0001042/miR-7a/Tfr-1 might be important circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks related to ferroptosis in this model.Conclusion Chronic restraint stress may aggravate myocardial injury in hyperlipidemia mice via ferrop-tosis.Four potential biomarkers are selected for myocardial injury diagnosis,providing a new direction for sudden cardiac death(SCD)caused by hyperlipidemia combined with the restraint stress.

Objective To establish a rapid and convenient UPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of tamoxifen and its active metabolite endoxifen in plasma of patients with breast cancer.Methods With diazepam as the internal standard,the plasma sample was precipitated with acetonitrile and methanol-acetonitrile was used as mobile phase.The samples were separated by chromatographic column ZORBAX Eclipse plus C18(18 μm,2.1 mm x50 mm)and scanned by electrospray ion source and positive ion multiple reaction monitoring mode.The ion channels were detected as tamoxifen m/z 372.0→72.1,endoxifen m/z 374.0→58.2 and diazepam m/z 285→192.9.Results The linearity of tamoxifen and endoxifen were good in the concentration range of 1-500 ng·mL-1(R2=0.999 5)and 0.5-250 ng·mL-1,respectively(R2=0.999 9).The intra-day and inter-day precision of low,medium and high quality control concentrations were all less than 10％.Tamoxifen and endoxifen were stable at low temperature and stable after repeated freeze-thaw.Conclusion The experimental results show that the method meets the requirements of biological sample analysis,and the sample treatment is simple,specific,and can be used for the accurate and rapid determination of tamoxifen and indoloxifen in human plasma.

Objective To analyze the therapeutic effects and survival benefits of sintilimab combined with albumin-bound paclitaxel chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with advanced gastric cancer.Methods Patients with advanced gastric cancer were divided into the treatment group and the control group by cohort method.The control group was treated with albumin-bound paclitaxel-based chemotherapy[intravenous infusion of albumin-bound paclitaxel at 125 mg·m-2 from day 1 to day 8,for a cycle(21 days as a cycle);Tiggio capsule 40 mg·m-2·d-1 was taken orally for 1-14 days for 1 consecutive cycle;Trastuzumab was administered once every 3 weeks at an initial loading dose of 8 mg·kg-1,followed by maintenance treatment at a dose of 6 mg·kg-1 every 3 weeks].On this basis,the treatment group was treated with intravenous infusion of sintilimab injection at a dose of 200 mg·time-1 on the first day of each cycle,with 21 d as a cycle.After 6 cycles of continuous treatment,both groups were given maintenance treatment and were followed up for 8 months.The two groups were compared in terms of clinical efficacy,the levels of serum tumor markers[carbohydrate antigen 242(CA242),carbohydrate antigen 724(CA724),carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),tissue polypeptide-specific antigen(TPS),soluble intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1(sICAM-1)and E-cadherin],survival and evaluated the safety.Results In this study,39 and 41 patients were enrolled in the control group and the treatment group,respectively.At the end of treatment,the objective response rates(ORR)in the treatment group and the control group were 56.10％and 33.33％;the disease control rates(DCR)were 78.05％and 48.71％.The differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).After treatment,serum CA242 levels in the treatment group and the control group were(57.64±5.82)and(68.95±7.23)mg·L-1;CA724 levels were(36.58±3.79)and(43.65±4.48)U·mL-1;CEA levels were(17.33±1.78)and(20.16±2.35)ng·mL-1;TPS levels were(21.35±2.44)and(37.65±3.84)U·L-1;sICAM-1 levels were(216.77±22.53)and(275.34±28.63)ng·mL-1;E-cadherin levels were(12.15±1.36)and(9.87±1.45)ng·mL-1.The differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The average progression free survival(PFS)of the treatment group and the control group was 7.55 months and 7.17 months;PFS rates were 65.78％and 56.42％.The differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The adverse drug reactions in the treatment group and the control group were mainly bone marrow suppression,nausea and vomiting,liver function damage,peripheral nerve paresthesia,and hypothyroidism.There was no statistically significant difference in the above adverse drug reactions between the treatment group and the control group(all P＞0.05).Conclusion Sintilimab combined with albumin-bound paclitaxel chemotherapy is effective in the treatment of patients with advanced gastric cancer,which can significantly improve serum tumor markers and prolong PFS,with good safety.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the characteristics and prognosis of acute leukemia(AL) with SET-NUP214 fusion gene. METHODS: The clinical data of 17 patients over 14 years old newly diagnosed with SET-NUP214 positive AL admitted in Institute of Hematology and Blood Diseases Hospital from August 2017 to May 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: Among the 17 SET-NUP214 positive patients, 13 cases were diagnosed as T-ALL (ETP 3 cases, Pro-T-ALL 6 cases, Pre-T-ALL 3 cases, Medullary-T-ALL 1 case), AML 3 cases (2 cases M5, 1 case M0) and ALAL 1 case. Thirteen patients presented extramedullary infiltration at initial diagnosis. All 17 patients received treatment, and a total of 16 cases achieved complete remission (CR), including 12 cases in patients with T-ALL. The total median OS and RFS time were 23 (3-50) months and 21 (0-48) months, respectively. Eleven patients received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT), with median OS time of 37.5 (5-50) months and median RFS time of 29.5 (5-48) months. The median OS time of 6 patients in chemotherapy-only group was 10.5 (3-41) months, and median RFS time of 6.5 (3-39) months. The OS and RFS of patients with transplantation group were better than those of chemotherapy-only group (P=0.038). Among the 4 patients who relapsed or refractory after allo-HSCT, the SET-NUP214 fusion gene did not turn negative before transplantation. While, in the group of 7 patients who have not relapsed after allo-HSCT till now, the SET-NUP214 fusion gene expression of 5 patients turned negative before transplantation and other 2 of them were still positive. CONCLUSION The fusion site of SET-NUP214 fusion gene is relatively fixed in AL patients, often accompanied by extramedullary infiltration. The chemotherapy effect of this disease is poor, and allo-HSCT may improve its prognosis.
