The development of organ transplantation has brought new hope to many patients with organ failure and their families， but it has also raised numerous ethical issues. How to balance the rights and interests between organ donors and recipients， as well as ensure the fairness and transparency of the transplantation process has become an urgent problem to be solved. Based on the latest Regulations on Organ Donation and Transplantation and the Working Rules of the Ethics Committee for Human Organ Transplantation， the current difficulties and challenges in organ transplantation ethics were deeply analyzed. Taking the ethical review practice of Shenzhen Third People’s Hospital as an example， this paper explored issues such as full informed consent of both donors and recipients， risk assessment of marginal donors， and the review of relationships between donors and recipients. It also explored and constructed a set of complete ethical review models for organ transplantation through refined management. This model improved the efficiency and quality of ethical review as well as enriched the related knowledge system. It is expected that the implementation of this model can provide a reference for promoting effective ethical review nationwide， advancing the improvement and development of ethical review work in organ transplantation. Meanwhile， more medical ethics experts and practitioners are called upon to focus on and engage in the research and practice of ethical review in organ transplantation， jointly promoting progress in this field.

BACKGROUND:Tyrosine kinase inhibitors,as well as other types of small-molecule cancer drugs,can cause severe cardiotoxicity. OBJECTIVE:To perform a heart safety re-evaluation by observing the effects of antitumor drugs on isolated heart electrocardiograph,cardiac action potential and associated ion channels and cytotoxicity. METHODS:Extracorporeal cardiac perfusion was given to the isolated rabbit heart using Langendorff perfusion:Sunitinib(0.3,3,10 μmol/L),Crizotinib(0.3,1,3 μmol/L),and Doxorubicin(1,30 μmol/L)were perfused sequentially for 120 minutes to record electrocardiograph and left ventricular pressure.A blank control group was set for comparison.Manual patch clamp was used to record the effects of Crizotinib,Sunitinib,Doxorubicin on hERG,Cav1.2,Nav1.5 channel currents and action potential in human induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes.Adenosine triphosphate level in human induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes was detected by CellTiter-Glo luminescent cell viability assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Isolated rabbit heart using Langendorff perfusion:Compared with the blank ontrol group,Sunitinib and Crizotinib at≥3 μmol/L decreased heart rate(P<0.01)and prolonged QT/QTc interval(P<0.01),and reduced left ventricular pressure to different extents.Manual patch clamp recording:Compared with the blank control group,Sunitinib and Crizotinib at 3 μmol/L inhibited the activities of hERG,Nav1.5 and Cav1.2 channels and significantly prolonged the duration of action potential(P<0.01).According to the analysis of the test article,the difference between the labeled concentration and the measured concentration of the recovered solution was not significant.Cell viability assays:Compared with the blank control group,adenosine triphosphate content in human induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes significantly decreased after treatment with Sunitinib(IC50=4.64 μmol/L),Doxorubicin(IC50=4.21 μmol/L)and Crizotinib(IC50=2.87 μmol/L),indicating that cell viability significantly decreased(P<0.01).To conclude,this study successfully established an early cardiac safety evaluation method for antitumor drugs,which provides good support and help for the subsequent development of antitumor drugs.

Objective: To investigate the spatial clustering characteristics of varicella public health emergency events in Nanjing City from 2017 to 2022, so as to provide the evidence for the development of varicella prevention and control strategies. Methods: Data of varicella public health emergency events in Nanjing City from 2017 to 2022 were collected through Emergency Public Health Management Information System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The software ArcGIS 10.2 was employed for trend-surface analysis, spatial autocorrelation analysis and hotspot analysis to understand the spatial clustering characteristics of varicella public health emergency events. Results: A total of 84 varicella public health emergency events were reported in Nanjing City from 2017 to 2022, with an average attack rate of 2.53% (2 558 cases). Ⅳ-level events were predominant, accounting for 90.48% (76 events). The trend-surface analysis showed lower incidence of varicella public health emergency events in the west of Nanjing City and higher in the east, and lower in the north and higher in the south. The global spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that there was a positive spatial correlation in varicella public health emergency events in 2017 and 2019, indicating spatial clustering (P<0.05). The hot spots were Jiangning District, Gaochun District, Yuhuatai District and Jianye District. Conclusion The incidence of varicella public health emergency events in Nanjing City from 2017 to 2022 has spatial aggregation, with a concentration in suburban areas such as Jiangning District and Gaochun District.

Objective: To evaluate the preventive effect of implementing the free influenza vaccination policy on school absence among primary and secondary school students, so as to provide a reference for formulating and adjusting vaccination strategies. Methods: Among primary and secondary school students aged 6 to 18 in Longgang District, Shenzhen, they were divided into a vaccinated group (265 996 students) and an unvaccinated group (122 513 students) according to their influenza vaccination history during November 2023. Propensity score matching was used to conduct a 1∶1 match between the two groups to balance covariates. The number of absences per month was set as the dependent variable to construct a difference in differences model, and Poisson regression was employed to analyze the overall and multi time point effects. Results: Vaccination against influenza was associated with low rate of absenteeism among primary and secondary school students, with an overall preventive effect of 26.52% (95% CI = 23.47% -29.45%). The preventive effects in November (the month of vaccination) and December 2023, January and March 2024 were 42.12%, 40.12%, 30.33% and 20.91%, respectively. The preventive effect of the influenza vaccine on absenteeism among primary school students (26.39%) was not significantly different from that among secondary school students ( 27.97% ) ( P >0.05). The regression coefficient for class vaccination rates ranged from 0.998 to 0.999 ( P <0.01), indicating that for every 10% increase in influenza vaccination rates, absenteeism could be reduced by 1.5% to 2.2%. Conclusion Implementing free influenza vaccination for primary and secondary school students might help to reduce the risk of absenteeism, yielding significant socioeconomic benefits.

Objective To analyze the distribution of carbapenem-resistant strains and the transmission mode of resistance genes in the bacteria strains from urinary system of the individuals outside hospitals,and further explore the impacts of the antibiotics with different antibacterial mechanisms on the conjugation transfer of resistant plasmids.Methods The imipenem-resistant strains from 991 non-re-petitive urine samples of healthy individuals were screened for determining the carbapenem-resistance genotypes.Using the multilocus sequence typing(MLST)method,the main carbapenem-resistant strains were classified to determine the phylogenetic relationship be-tween different sequence types(STs)and reveal the transmission mode of resistance genes in the individuals outside hospitals.The conjugation experiment was used to analyze the effects of different sub-inhibitory concentrations of ampicillin,ciprofloxacin,and genta-micin on the conjugation efficiency of resistant plasmids in the bacteria of donor and/or recipient at different times.Results A total of 18 non-repetitive carbapenem-resistant strains(1.82％,18/991)were detected in healthy individuals outside hospitals,among which Escherichia coli(E.coli)(44.44％,8/18)was the main strain with main genotype being blaKPC-2(7/8).MLST showed that the 7 strains of E.coli with blaKPC-2 genotype belonged to ST-10,ST-101,ST-131,ST-405,ST-410,ST-1193,and ST-2562,respectively.Homologous clustering analysis showed that the type of the 7 E.coli strains exhibited high diversity.The range of joint efficiency was(1.59±0.20)× 10-4 to(4.01±1.31)× 10-4.The highest conjugation efficiency was observed in the donor bacteria treated with 1/8 of MIC of antibiotics for 9 hours,and the conjugation efficiency most significantly increased compared to the group without antibiotic treat-ment.Three antibiotics with different mechanisms of action could all improve conjugation efficiency,among which ampicillin exhibited the most significant improvement.Conclusion In this study,the genotype of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli(CREC)was mainly blaKPC-2 with a main mode of horizontal transmission.Antibiotics with sub-inhibitory concentrations could promote the conjugation transfer of the resistant plasmid.There may be significant differences in the effects of antibiotics with different mechanisms of action and different antibiotic stress conditions on the conjugation efficiency.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and prognostic survival of pembrolizumab combined with apatinib and chemotherapy in the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-negative advanced gastric cancer.Methods:Patients with HER2-negative advanced gastric cancer were selected from December 2019 to December 2022 as the study subjects. Forty-five patients who received chemotherapy therapy (fluorouracil+cisplatin) were randomly collected and included in control group, and 52 patients who were treated with pembrolizumab combined with apatinib were randomly selected and enrolled as observation group. The difference in short-term efficacy was compared. The levels of serum tumor markers and immune function (CD3 +, CD4 +, CD8 +, CD4 +/CD8 +) were recorded. The long-term efficacy and adverse reactions of patients were compared. Measurement data conforming to the normal distribution were expressed as xˉ± s, and the mean comparison between groups was performed by independent sample t test. Chi-square test was used to compare the rate or composition ratio among enumeration data. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:At 6 months after treatment, the disease control rate in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group (78.85% (41/52) vs 57.78% (26/45)) ( χ2=5.01, P=0.025), but there was no statistical significance in objective response rate between groups (36.54% (19/52) vs 24.45% (11/45)) ( χ2=1.65, P=0.199). The levels of pepsinogen I, tissue polypeptide specific antigen, carcinoembryonic antigen, carbohydrate antigen 199 and CD8 + in both groups were reduced after treatment, and the levels were lower in observation group than those in control group ( t=6.06, 6.78, 4.68, 11.21, 3.45, all P<0.001). The levels of CD3 +, CD4 + and CD4 +/CD8 + were enhanced significantly in the two groups, and the observation group had higher levels after treatment ( t values were 2.10, 3.74, and 5.19; P values were 0.028, <0.001, and <0.001). After 1 year of follow-up, the survival rate in observation group with 59.62% (31/52) was significantly higher than 37.78% (17/45) in control group ( χ2=4.60, P=0.032). The progression-free survival time ((10.22±1.62) months vs (8.13±1.57) months, t=6.43, P<0.001) and overall survival time ((11.62±1.84) months vs (9.73±1.71) months, t=5.21, P<0.001) in observation group were significantly longer compared to control group. There were no statistical differences in the incidence rates of bone marrow suppression ( χ2=1.92, P=0.165), hand-foot syndrome ( χ2=3.47, P=0.062), gastrointestinal reaction ( χ2=0.32, P=0.574), hypertension ( χ2=0.94, P=0.333) and proteinuria ( χ2=2.39, P=0.122) between the two groups. Conclusion:Compared with chemotherapy, pembrolizumab combined with apatinib shows good short-term efficacy and long-term efficacy in patients with HER2-negative advanced gastric cancer.

Sarcopenia is an age-related degenerative disease.Type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)is a senile disease.These two diseases often coexist.Early identification and intervention of T2DM combined with sarcopenia can improve the quality of life to a certain extent.This article reviews the research progress of T2DM combined with sarcopenia.

Objective:To investigate the effect of regional leptomeningeal collateral circulation (rLMC) score based on CT angiography (CTA) and onset-to-reperfusion time (OTR) on the outcome after endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with anterior circulation acute large vessel occlusive stroke (ACA-LVOS).Methods:Patients with ACA-LVOS underwent EVT in the Department of Neurology, the Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University from July 2017 to July 2023 were included retrospectively. The rLMC score 0-10 was defined as poor collateral circulation, and 11-20 were defined as good collateral circulation. At 90 days after EVT, the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) was used to evaluate the outcome. A score of 0-2 was defined as a good outcome and 3-6 were defined as a poor outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent influencing factors of the outcome after EVT. Results:A total of 144 patients with ACA-LVOS underwent EVT were enrolled, including 78 males (54.2%), median aged 73 years. The median baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 16, the median baseline Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) was 9, and the median OTR was 330.5 minutes. Eighty patients (55.6%) had good collateral circulation, 63 (43.8%) had poor outcome, including 13 deaths. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in hypertension, previous stroke history, smoking, triglycerides, baseline NIHSS score, baseline ASPECTS, OTR, and collateral circulation status between the good outcome group and the poor outcome group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that good collateral circulation (odds ratio [ OR] 0.223, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 0.077-0.643; P=0.005) was an independent predictor of good outcome. In the poor collateral circulation group, longer OTR was an independent predictor of poor outcome ( OR 1.020, 95% CI 1.008-1.032; P=0.001). In the good collateral circulation group, longer OTR was not an independent risk factor for poor outcome ( OR 1.005, 95% CI 1.000-1.010; P=0.062). Conclusion:rLMC score based on CTA and OTR are the independent predictors of the outcome after EVT in patients with ACA-LVOS.

Objective: To understand the correlation between depression, sleep quality and dental caries among college students in Chongqing, so as so provide reference basis for targeted health education. Methods: From January to June 2022, a multi stage sampling method was used to select 627 students from six colleges in Chongqing. According to the Fourth National Epidemiological Survey of Oral Health and World Health Organization standards, dental caries were examined and diagnosed. The Self Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Questionnaire and general situation questionnaire were adopted to investigate depressive symptoms and sleep quality of college students. Correlation analysis was performed to study the correlation between depression, sleep quality and dental caries. Results: The prevalence of dental caries among college students was 42.1%, and there was a statistically significant difference in dental caries prevalence among college students depending on their gender, major, body shape, parental education level, and family sources ( χ 2=14.49, 16.81, 7.82, 15.14, 7.34, P <0.05). The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 13.9%, and there was a statistically significant difference in SDS scores and depression prevalence among students of different body types ( χ 2=10.99, P <0.05). The PSQI score was (4.36±0.94) points, and the rate of poor sleep quality was 26.16%. Furthermore, there was a statistically significant difference in the PSQI score and rate of poor sleep quality among college students of different genders and body types ( χ 2=25.41, 17.59, P <0.05). There was a certain correlation between the occurrence of dental caries and poor sleep quality and depressive symptoms among college students, with contingency coefficients of 0.15 and 0.13, respectively ( P <0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of dental caries is high among college students in Chongqing. The occurrence of dental caries may be related to depression and sleep quality.

Objective:To investigate the correlations of β-catenin expression with the efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) and prognosis of patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations.Methods:The clinical data of 125 patients with stage Ⅲ B-Ⅳ lung adenocarcinoma who were treated with first-line EGFR-TKI treatment in the 901st Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force of Chinese PLA from January 2016 to December 2019 were collected. The expression of β-catenin protein was detected by immunohistochemistry, and subtypes of EGFR mutations were detected by amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS). Correlations of β-catenin expression with clinicopathological features, efficacy of EGFR-TKI and prognosis were analyzed. Twenty-eight pairs of specimens were selected before EGFR-TKI treatment and after resistance to EGFR-TKI to observe the changes of β-catenin expression. Results:Among 125 advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients with EGFR mutations, there were 60 cases of EGFR 19 del, 55 cases of L858R mutation and 10 cases of rare sensitive mutation; 79 cases (63.2%) had reduced membranous expression of β-catenin, 66 cases (52.8%) had ectopic expression in cytoplasm and 28 cases (22.4%) had ectopic expression in nucleus. The positive rates of Napsin A protein in the groups with different abnormal expression patterns of β-catenin were lower than those in the corresponding normal expression groups (all P < 0.001). Patients with International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) grade Ⅲ showed more frequent translocation in cytoplasma and nucleus of β-catenin than patients with IASLC gradeⅠ-Ⅱ (ectopic expression in cytoplasm: χ2 = 3.99, P = 0.046,ectopic expression in nucleus: χ2 = 11.07, P = 0.001). The objective remission rate (ORR) in patients with reduced membranous expression of β-catenin and ectopic expression in nucleus was lower than that in patients with normal membranous expression ( χ2 = 4.66, P = 0.031) and negative ectopic expression in nucleus ( χ2 = 10.22, P = 0.001), and the disease control rate (DCR) in patients with ectopic expression in nucleus was lower than that in the corresponding normal expression group ( χ2 = 10.95, P = 0.001). Patients with ectopic expression of β-catenin in nucleus and cytoplasma had worse progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) than the corresponding cytoplasmic and nuclear ectopic expression negative groups (both P < 0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that nuclear β-catenin ectopic expression was an independent risk factor for both PFS and OS (PFS: HR = 2.088, 95% CI 1.331-3.274, P = 0.001; OS: HR = 3.656, 95% CI 1.795-7.444, P<0.001). β-catenin membranous expression was reduced in 11 of 28 tissue samples that underwent secondary biopsy compared with pre-treatment ( P = 0.049). Conclusions:β-catenin expression in advanced lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR-sensitive mutations can be used as a molecular marker to predict the efficacy of EGFR-TKI and prognosis of patients.
