Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of tumor-treating fields (TTFields) and chemoradiation in patients with high-grade glioblastoma.Methods:Clinical data of 38 patients admitted to the Jiangsu Cancer Hospital from September 2021 to May 2023 who were diagnosed with high-grade glioblastoma (36 cases of World Health Organization grade Ⅳ and 2 cases of grade Ⅲ) were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received TTFields combined with concurrent chemoradiation after surgery. Response assessment in neuro-oncology (RANO) criteria was used to evaluate the glioma responses as tumor remission, stable or progression. Common terminology criteria for adverse events v5.0 and TTFields related skin adverse reaction (dAE) criteria were used to evaluate the adverse events. Treatment compliance was assessed by data on the NovoTTF-200A therapeutic device, calculated as a percentage of daily TTFields usage time. Survival analysis was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the log-rank test.Results:The median duration of treatment with TTFields in 38 patients was 20 h (rang: 2.4-22.6 h), and the median treatment compliance was 83% (range: 10%-94%). After 42 days of TTFields combined with concurrent chemoradiation, 12 patients who underwent complete tumor resection were assessed as stable according to RANO criteria. Among the 26 patients who underwent partial tumor resection, 23 (88%) were evaluated as disease remission according to RANO criteria. The 7-, 10-, 13-month progression-free survival rate was 81.0%、64.0%、49.5%, repectively. The common adverse events included grade 1 (45%) and grade 2 (8%) dAE, without grade 3-4 dAE. Typical presentations included contact dermatitis, blisters, lesions or ulcers, and abscesses. The median follow-up time was 10.0 months (range: 1.6-21.3 months). At follow-up as of July 2023, 26 of the 38 patients were stable and 12 had disease progression (8 died).Conclusion:The preliminary results show that TTFields combined with chemoradiation is effective, safe and reliable treatment for high-grade glioblastoma.

Objective:To investigate the role of three-dimensional dose distribution-based deep learning model in predicting distant metastasis of head and neck cancer.Methods:Radiotherapy and clinical follow-up data of 237 patients with head and neck cancer undergoing intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) from 4 different institutions were collected. Among them, 131 patients from HGJ and CHUS institutions were used as the training set, 65 patients from CHUM institution as the validation set, and 41 patients from HMR institution as the test set. Three-dimensional dose distribution and GTV contours of 131 patients in the training set were input into the DM-DOSE model for training and then validated with validation set data. Finally, the independent test set data were used for evaluation. The evaluation content included the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), balanced accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, concordance index and Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis.Results:In terms of prognostic prediction of distant metastasis of head and neck cancer, the DM-DOSE model based on three-dimensional dose distribution and GTV contours achieved the optimal prognostic prediction performance, with an AUC of 0.924, and could significantly distinguish patients with high and low risk of distant metastasis (log-rank test, P<0.001). Conclusion:Three-dimensional dose distribution has good predictive value for distant metastasis in head and neck cancer patients treated with IMRT, and the constructed prediction model can effectively predict distant metastasis.

Objective:To compare safety and efficacy of one-stage laparoscopic common bile duct exploration plus laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCBDE+ LC) with endoscopic retrodrade cholangiopancreatography plus laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ERCP+ LC) in elderly patients with concomitant gallbladder and common bile duct (CBD) stones.Methods:This is a two-center retrospective study with clinical data on 492 patients aged over 80 years diagnosed with concomitant gallbladder and CBD stones treated between January, 2014 and December, 2020 at The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University and Quzhou Hospital Affiliated to Wenzhou Medical University. There were 254 males and 238 females, aged (83.9±3.0) years. These patients were divided into two groups based on their operative methods: the one-stage group (LCBDE+ LC, n=186) and the two-stage group (ERCP+ LC, n=306). Differences in surgery, stones and hospitalization costs were compared between the two groups. Results:When compared with the ERCP+ LC group, the LCBDE+ LC group had significantly higher incidences of previous gastrectomy [21.5%(40/186) vs 4.2%(13/306)], multiple stones [77.4%(144/186) vs 49.3%(151/306)], larger stone diameter [13.7(6.4, 18.6)mm vs 10.9(5.7, 16.1) mm], and increased hospitalization expenditure [(2.37±0.31) Wanyuan vs (3.26±0.44) Wanyuan] (all P<0.05). However, the rates of residual stone [2.7%(5/186) vs 1.3%(4/306)], stone recurrence [2.2%(4/186) vs 5.2%(16/306)], postoperatively overall complications [3.2%(6/186) vs 1.3%(4/306)], and total hospital stay [(10.7±6.2) d vs (11.3±5.4) d] were not significantly different between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Allowing for the similar safety and effectiveness, and lower hospitalization expenditure, LCBDE+ LC was a preferred choice for patients aged over 80 year, especially in patients who had previous gastrectomy, multiple large CBD stones, or who could not accept endoscopic procedures for treatment of CBD stones.

OBJECTIVES:
This study examined the associations between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and diabetes within a social-ecological framework, incorporating personal and environmental unfavorable conditions during childhood from family, school, and community contexts.
METHODS:
Data were obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (2014 life history survey and 2015 survey), including 9,179 participants aged ≥45 years. ACEs were collected through self-report questionnaires, and participants were categorized based on the number of distinct ACEs experienced (0, 1, 2, 3, or ≥4 ACEs). Diabetes was defined by biomarkers, self-reported diagnosis, and treatment status. Logistic regression was conducted to explore the associations between ACEs and diabetes. Subgroup analyses were conducted by gender, age, and obesity status.
RESULTS:
Compared with participants without ACEs, those exposed to any ACE (odds ratio [OR], 1.19; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01 to 1.40), 3 ACEs (OR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.62) and ≥4 ACEs (OR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.56) had an increased risk of diabetes. For each additional ACE, the risk of diabetes increased by about 5%. Regarding the source of ACEs, those originating from the family (OR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.08 to 1.41) were associated with diabetes. In terms of specific ACE types, family members with substance abuse (OR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.52), emotional abuse (OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.12 to 1.46), and poor parental relationship (OR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.09 to 1.43) were associated with diabetes.
CONCLUSIONS
ACEs, particularly those originating from the family, were associated with diabetes. Interventions aimed at preventing and mitigating ACEs are essential for the early prevention of diabetes.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. At present, the in vivo model and traditional cell culture are mainly used in breast cancer researches. However, as high as 90% clinical trials are failed for drugs explored by the above two methods, due to the inherent species differences between humans and animals, as well as the differences in the tissue structure between organs and cells. Therefore, organoid three-dimensional culture is emerging. As a new tumor research model, organoid, a three-dimensional cell complex with spatial structure, has broad application prospects, such as precision medicine, organ transplantation, establishment of refractory disease model, gene therapy and drug research and development. Therefore, organoid is considered as one of the ideal carriers for life science research in the future. Breast cancer, a heterogeneous disease with complex phenotypes, has a low survival rate. Breast cancer organoid can reproduce many key features of human breast cancer, thus, the construction of organoid biological library of breast cancer will provide a new platform for studying the occurrence, development, metastasis and drug resistance mechanism of breast cancer. In this review, we systematically introduce the culture conditions of organoids and their application in breast cancer related research, and the application prospect of organoids.

Staphylococcal protein A (SPA) has a high affinity for human immunoglobulin, and SPA immunoadsorption can specifically reduce the titer of autoantibodies and quickly relieve the clinical symptoms of myasthenia gravis (MG). Recent studies have suggested that immunoadsorption has better clinical efficacy and a lower incidence of adverse reactions than plasma exchange. A case of refractory MG with poor response to corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulins and immunosuppressive therapy was reported. The patient had low immune function and progressive pulmonary infection in the later stage of the disease. Respiratory muscle weakness was relieved quickly after four times of immunoadsorption therapy. The value of immunoadsorption in the treatment of refractory MG was explored with literature review.
