Objective:To investigate the rates of low disease activity and clinical remission in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)in a real-world setting,and to analyze the related factors of low disease activity and clinical remission.Methods:One thousand patients with SLE were enrolled from 11 teaching hospitals.Demographic,clinical and laboratory data,as well as treatment regimes were collec-ted by self-completed questionnaire.The rates of low disease activity and remission were calculated based on the lupus low disease activity state(LLDAS)and definitions of remission in SLE(DORIS).Charac-teristics of patients with LLDAS and DORIS were analyzed.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the related factors of LLDAS and DORIS remission.Results:20.7％of patients met the criteria of LLDAS,while 10.4％of patients achieved remission defined by DORIS.Patients who met LLDAS or DORIS remission had significantly higher proportion of patients with high income and longer disease duration,compared with non-remission group.Moreover,the rates of anemia,creatinine eleva-tion,increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)and hypoalbuminemia was significantly lower in the LLDAS or DORIS group than in the non-remission group.Patients who received hydroxychloroquine for more than 12 months or immunosuppressant therapy for no less than 6 months earned higher rates of LLDAS and DORIS remission.The results of Logistic regression analysis showed that increased ESR,positive anti-dsDNA antibodies,low level of complement(C3 and C4),proteinuria,low household in-come were negatively related with LLDAS and DORIS remission.However,hydroxychloroquine usage for longer than 12 months were positively related with LLDAS and DORIS remission.Conclusion:LLDAS and DORIS remission of SLE patients remain to be improved.Treatment-to-target strategy and standar-dized application of hydroxychloroquine and immunosuppressants in SLE are recommended.

Objective:To master the diagnostic status of brucellosis in Yunnan Province.Methods:The basic information and clinical diagnosis data of all brucellosis cases reported in Yunnan Province from January 2006 to December 2022 in the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System were retrospectively collected. The diagnostic status of cases with different characteristics and clinical stages (acute, subacute, chronic) were analyzed.Results:A total of 3 892 cases of brucellosis were reported in Yunnan Province from 2006 to 2022, of which the acute phase accounted for 92.09% (3 584/3 892), the subacute phase accounted for 4.91% (191/3 892), and the chronic phase accounted for 3.01% (117/3 892). The median time interval between onset and diagnosis was 13 days. Males accounted for 69.63% (2 710/3 892), while females accounted for 30.37% (1 182/3 892). The age of the patients was mainly concentrated in the age group of 40 - 59 years, accounting for 53.13% (2 068/3 892). The median time interval between onset and diagnosis was the longest in the age group of 30 - 39 years (15 days), followed by the age group of 0 - 9 years (14 days), and 13 days in other age groups. In terms of occupational distribution, farmers and herdsmen together accounted for 85.25% (3 318/3 892) of the total reported cases; 84.88% (3 042/3 584), 90.05% (172/191) and 88.89% (104/117) of the total cases were in the acute, subacute and chronic phases, respectively. The distribution of medical treatment areas showed that there were 2 120 cases seeking medical treatment in this county (district), with a local treatment rate of 54.47% (2 120/3 892), including 1 930 cases (91.04%) in the acute phase, 115 cases (5.42%) in the subacute phase, and 75 cases (3.54%) in the chronic phase. There were 1 772 cases seeking medical treatment in different locations, with a referral rate of 45.53% (1 772/3 892), including 1 654 cases (93.34%) in the acute phase, 76 cases (4.29%) in the subacute phase, and 42 cases (2.37%) in the chronic phase. The distribution of visiting departments showed that 67.58% (542/802) of the cases were diagnosed and treated in the infectious disease department, and 32.42% (260/802) of the cases were diagnosed and treated in the non-infectious disease department.Conclusions:From 2006 to 2022, brucellosis in Yunnan Province is mainly in the acute stage, with a short time interval between onset and diagnosis. The main population is middle-aged and elderly male farmers and herdsmen.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of single-incision transobturator bulbourethral sling suspension without skin tunnel puncture in male patients with urinary incontinence.Methods:The clinical data of 6 male patients with urinary incontinence who underwent single-incision transobturator bulbourethral sling suspension without skin tunnel puncture in Beijing Hospital from August 2023 to August 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.The age of the patients ranged from 66 to 76 years old, with an average of 71.7 years old. The disease duration ranged from 18 to 48 months, with an average of 30 months. Six patients used 1 to 3 pads per day, with an average of 2.3 pads. The International Continence Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICI-Q-SF) scored 13 to 19, with an average of 15.8. The Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire (I-QOL) scored 5.3 to 30.6, with an average of 18.8. Three patients underwent transurethral resection of the prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia and three patients underwent radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. The degree of urinary incontinence was mild in 2 cases and moderate in 4 cases. The technical points are as follows: the puncture method has been changed from the traditional outside-in approach to an inside-out approach. After the puncture needle passes through from beneath the skin at the incision, the sling is guided in, avoiding the need for skin tunneling punctures. Upon completion of the puncture, the ends of the sling on both sides are tied with a certain tension at the midline of the incision, and the incision is then closed layer by layer. The efficacy and safety of surgery were evaluated by recording the number of daily pad use, subjective scoring scale [International Committee on Urinary Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICI-Q-SF), Incontinence Quality of Life (I-QOL)] and complications at 1 month after surgery. Social continence was defined as 0 to 1 pad use per day. Successful treatment was defined as social continence. Treatment improvement was defined as no social continence, but 50% or more improvement of symptoms compared with that before surgery. Other conditions were defined as treatment failure.Results:All operations were successfully completed. After 1 to 11 months of follow-up, all patients achieved social continence. The patients' postoperative daily use of urinary pads ranged from 0 to 1 piece, with a mean of 0.5 piece. ICI-Q-SF scores ranged from 1 to 7, with a mean of 3. I-QOL scores ranged from 72.1 to 85.2, with a mean of 77.0. All the indicators were significantly improved compared with those before operation. In terms of postoperative complications, one patient had dysuria and urinary retention 2 days after the removal of the catheter, which was improved after symptomatic treatment of anti-inflammatory, detumescence, and indwelling catheter. At the last follow-up, there were no surgical related complications.Conclusions:The single-incision transobturator bulbourethral sling suspension without skin tunnel puncture for the treatment of male urinary incontinence is safe and effective. Compared to the traditional surgical method, it does not increase the difficulty of the procedure and is technically feasible, offering clinicians a new approach and perspective.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of school varicella and varicella public health emergency event (PHEE) in Yunnan Province, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of varicella in schools. Methods The descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the reported PHEE of varicella in students and varicella in schools in Yunnan Province from 2018 to 2020. Results From 2018 to 2020, a total of 69,391 cases of varicella were reported in students in Yunnan Province, accounting for 71.48% (69 391 / 97 080) of the total cases in the province, and the annual average reported incidence rate was 255.56/100 000 (69 391/27.1522 million). The time distribution of the incidence showed double peaks, which were from May to July (26.48%) and October to January of the following year (53.88%). The incidence rates of different schools from high to low were 301.74/100 000 for primary schools (34 816/11.538 3 million), 250.43/100 000 for kindergarten (11 526/4.6024 million), 202.74/100 000 for middle school (16 779/8.276 1 million), and 119.07/100 000 for others (3 257/2.735 4 million). The age distribution was mainly concentrated in 5-9 years old, accounting for 39.81% (27 625/69 391). Varicella PHEE accounted for 25.64% (180/702）of the province's PHEE in the same period, school varicella PHEE accounted for 100% of varicella PHEE, and the attack rate was 3.38% (6 566/194 260). The sources of reported varicella PHEE were hospitals 45.40% (58/123), epidemic analysis 36.78% (44/123), schools 13.22% (15/123), and others 4.60% (6/123). Conclusion The incidence of varicella in schools in Yunnan Province is high, which is harmful to students. PHEE reported in rural schools are relatively lagging behind. On the basis of doing two doses of varicella vaccination, emergency prevention should be focused on epidemic seasons, lower grade schools and rural schools. The source of infection shall be controlled and managed in time to prevent the outbreak of the epidemic. It is recommended that varicella should be included in the management of Class C infectious diseases.

Objective:To compare the complications associated with various urinary flow diversion methods and identify the factors that contribute to the decline in renal function after radical total cystectomy for myoinfiltrating urothelial carcinoma.Methods:This study conducted a retrospective analysis on the clinical data of 46 patients with pathologically confirmed muscle-invasive bladder cancer.The patients underwent laparoscopic radical cystectomy with either ileal conduit diversion(n=21)or ureterocutaneous diversion(n=25)between January 2017 and December 2021.Perioperative data, postoperative pathology, postoperative complications, and follow-up results were compared between the two groups.Results:The study found significant differences between the two groups in terms of age[(67±6)years vs.(73±8)years, t=3.132, P=0.003], Charlson comorbidity index adjusted for age[(3.80±1.15) vs.(4.52±1.03), t=2.223, P=0.031], prognostic nutritional index[(48.81±5.74) vs.(43.64±4.74), t=3.347, P=0.002], operation time[(449±108)minutes vs.(326±130)minutes, P=0.001]], hospital stay[(20.1±11.1)days vs.(13.3±5.2)days, t=2.762, P=0.008], proportion of Clavien grade 3 or higher complications within 3 months after surgery(4/21 vs 0/25, χ2=2.105, P<0.05), and proportion of stoma-free patients(18/21 vs.5/25, χ2=6.373, P<0.01). According to Logistic multivariate analysis, perioperative blood transfusion and urinary tract infection were identified as independent risk factors for renal function decline 12 months after surgery.Escherichia coli was found to be the most common bacteria cultured from urinary tract infections in both groups after surgery. Conclusions:Laparoscopic radical cystectomy with ureterocutaneous diversion offers benefits such as shorter hospital stays and fewer perioperative complications for older and frail patients.However, a higher proportion of patients may require ureteral stenting.It is important to note that perioperative blood transfusion and urinary tract infection are major risk factors for renal function decline following radical cystectomy.

Objective This study aimed to examine and propagate the medication experience and group formula of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Master XIONG Jibo in diagnosing and treating arthralgia syndrome (AS) through data mining. Methods Data of outpatient cases of Professor XIONG Jibo were collected from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2018, along with cases recorded in A Real Famous Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor: XIONG Jibo's Clinical Medical Record 1, which was published in December 2019. The five variables collected from the patients’ data were TCM diagnostic information, TCM and western medicine diagnoses, syndrome, treatment, and prescription. A database was established for the collected data with Excel. Using the Python environment, a customized modified natural language processing (NLP) model for the diagnosis and treatment of AS by Professor XIONG Jibo was established to preprocess the data and to analyze the word cloud. Frequency analysis, association rule analysis, cluster analysis, and visual analysis of AS cases were performed based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine Inheritance Computing Platform (V3.0) and RStudio (V4.0.3). Results A total of 610 medical records of Professor XIONG Jibo were collected from the case database. A total of 103 medical records were included after data screening criteria, which comprised 187 times (45 kinds) of prescriptions and 1 506 times (125 kinds) of Chinese herbs. The main related meridians were the liver, spleen, and kidney meridians. The properties of Chinese herbs used most were mainly warm, flat, and cold, while the flavors of herbs were mainly bitter, pungent, and sweet. The main patterns of AS included the damp heat, phlegm stasis, and neck arthralgia. The most commonly used herbs for AS were Chuanniuxi (Cyathulae Radix), Huangbo (Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex), Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Qinjiao (Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Huangqi (Astragali Radix), and Chuanxiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma). The most common effect of the herbs was “promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis”, followed by “supplementing deficiency (Qi supplementing, blood supplementing, and Yang supplementing)”, and “dispelling wind and dampness”. The data were analyzed with the support ≥ 15% and confidence = 100%, and after de-duplication, five second-order association rules, 39 third-order association rules, 39 fourth-order association rules, and two fifth-order association rules were identified. The top-ranking association rules of each were “Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma) → Huangbo (Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex)” “Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma) + Chuanniuxi (Cyathulae Radix) → Huangbo (Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex)” “Chuanniuxi (Cyathulae Radix) + Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) + Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) → Qinjiao (Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix)” and “Chuanniuxi (Cyathulae Radix) + Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) +Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) + Huangbo (Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex) → Qinjiao (Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix)”, respectively. Five clusters were obtained using cluster analysis of the top 30 herbs. The herbs were mainly drying dampness, supplementing Qi, and promoting blood circulation. The main prescriptions of AS were Ermiao San (二妙散), Gegen Jianghuang San (葛根姜黄散), and Huangqi Chongteng Yin (黄芪虫藤饮). The herbs of core prescription included Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Chuanniuxi (Cyathulae Radix), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Huangbo (Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex), Mugua (Chaenomelis Fructus), Qinjiao (Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), and Yiyiren (Coicis Semen). Conclusion Clearing heat and dampness, relieving collaterals and pain, and invigorating Qi and blood are the most commonly used therapies for the treatment of AS by Professor XIONG Jibo. Additionally, customized NLP model could improve the efficiency of data mining in TCM.

Objective: To analyze and compare the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors between patients with advanced breast invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). Methods: Fifty-nine female patients with advanced breast ILC from Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital were included in this retrospective case-controlled study. Matched two hundred and thirty-six female patients with advanced breast IDC were selected according to age at diagnosis and the time of surgery (±2 years) in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital between January 2008 and December 2016. Clinical and pathological features and prognostic factors were analyzed by using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: The clinical pathological features of clinical stage at initial diagnosis, T stage, M stage, histological degree, estrogen receptor (ER) status, progesterone receptor (PR) status, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) status and molecular subtype were significantly different between two groups (all P < 0.05). The median ages at recurrence/metastasis of patients with breast ILC and IDC were 50 years (range: 28-73) and 51 years (range: 27-69), respectively. The differences in the number of first metastatic sites, lymph node metastasis, visceral metastasis, lung metastasis and bone metastasis were statistically significant between two groups (all P < 0.05). The median progression-free survivals of patients with breast ILC and IDC were 14 months (range: 2-62) and 11 months (range: 1-89), respectively (P = 0.121). The median metastasesoverall survivals (M-OS) of patients with ILC and IDC were 42 months (range: 5-78) and 44 months ((range: 1-110), respectively (P = 0.392). Multivariate analysis revealed that PR status, age at recurrence or metastasis and treatment of bone metastases were the independent predictors of survival in patients with advanced breast ILC (all P < 0.05). The molecular subtype, the number of first metastatic sites and pleural effusion were the independent prognostic factors in patients with breast IDC (all P < 0.05). Conclusion: Patients with advanced breast ILC have unique clinicopathological, recurrent/metastatic and prognostic features. It is necessary to reveal the definitive features of ILC and develop new personalized precision therapies.

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in females in the world. The characteristics of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are defined as estrogen receptor (ER)-negative, progesterone receptor (PR)-negative and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative. TNBC accounts for about 15%-20% in all the pathological types of breast cancer. With poor prognosis, high recurrence rate and high mortality rate, TNBC has become the focus of the research recently. At present, the treatment methods of breast cancer include surgery, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, adjuvant chemotherapy, endocrine therapy and targeted therapy, etc. Due to the lack of ER, PR and HER2 expressions, patients can not benefit from the endocrine therapy and anti-HER2 targeted therapy. Chemotherapy is currently recommended for the treatment of TNBC. Many chemotherapeutic regimens and new drugs are being explored. This paper reviews the progress in chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy of TNBC.
