Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab combined with apatinib as the second-line treatment for patients with advanced gastric cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 19 patients with advanced gastric cancer in Hebei General Hospital from August 2019 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received camrelizumab combined with apatinib as the second-line treatment. The treatment efficacy and adverse reactions were evaluated; the survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method; Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the influencing factors for overall survival (OS) of patients.Results:Among 19 patients, no one achieved complete remission, 4 patients (21.1%) achieved partial remission, 9 patients (47.4%) had stable disease. The objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were 21.1% (4/19) and 68.4% (13/19), respectively. The ORR of patients with deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) was higher than that of patients with proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) [100.0% (2/2) vs. 11.8% (2/17), P < 0.05], and patients with programmed death receptor ligand 1 (PD-L1) combined positive score (CPS) ≥1 had a higher DCR than patients with PD-L1 CPS < 1 [100.0% (5/5) vs. 25.0% (1/4), P < 0.05]. The median follow-up time of 19 patients was 14.7 months (12.0-17.4 months), the median progression-free survival time and OS time were 2.8 months and 5.7 months (95% CI 2.4-8.9 months). Increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was negatively correlated with OS ( χ2 = 10.262, P = 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that LDH was an independent influencing factor for the OS of patients (<250 U/L vs. ≥250 U/L: HR = 0.149, 95% CI 0.039-0.657, P = 0.005). The most common treatment-related adverse reactions were fatigue (52.6%, 10 cases), anemia (47.4%, 9 cases), thrombocytopenia (36.8%, 7 cases), rash (36.8%, 7 cases), and reactive capillary hemangioma (36.8%, 7 cases). Conclusions:Camrelizumab combined with apatinib as the second-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer have good efficacy and safety.

Objective:To explore the application value of situational bilingual teaching in standardized residency training of gynecology.Methods:The study enrolled 64 gynecological residents of Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, and they were randomized into experimental group and control group, with 32 residents in each group. The control group was taught by the traditional teaching method, using self-compiled teaching materials of our hospital. The experimental group was taught by the situational bilingual teaching mode, and the teaching materials were the same as those of the control group. The training time of the two groups was two months. After teaching, the training effect was evaluated through examination and satisfaction survey. SPSS 22.0 software was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:After training, the scores of theoretical knowledge, operation skills and case analysis in the experimental group were significantly higher than those before training and after training in the control group ( P<0.05). The learning interest, autonomous learning ability, theoretical knowledge mastery, clinical thinking ability and communication ability of the experimental group were significantly better than those of the control group ( P<0.05). The number of residents who were very satisfied with the training was significantly higher than that of the control group, and that of residents who were basically satisfied with the training were less than that of the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The application of situational bilingual teaching in the standardized residency training of gynecology has good teaching effects, which can significantly improve the theoretical performance, clinical operation ability and case analysis ability of the training residents, and also improve the satisfaction of the training residents.

Objective:To compare clinical features of patients with pyogenic liver abscesses with and without septated lobulations.Methods:Patients diagnosed to have pyogenic liver abscesses who were treated in our hospital from January 2011 to March 2021 were enrolled into this retrospective study. There were 203 males and 132 females, with age of (56±14) years old. The patients were divided into two groups by findings on computed tomography and ultrasound into the septated lobulation group ( n=68) and the non-septated lobulation group ( n=267). The clinical data of these patients were compared. Results:In the septated lobulation group, the neutrophil count was 9.17(5.97, 12.33)×10 9/L and the TBil was 17.65(11.92, 27.84) μmol/L. These were significantly higher than the corresponding figures of 7.81(5.42, 10.81)×10 9/L, 12.90(9.00, 19.68) μmol/L, respectively in the non-septated lobulation group ( P<0.05). The difference in the maximum diameters of the septated lobulation group was also significantly larger than the non-septated lobulation group ( P=0.032). Additionally, pus culture showed the proportion of Klebsiella pneumoniae positive patients in the septated lobulation group was significantly higher than that in the non-septated lobulation group [41.18% (28/68) vs. 25.84% (69/267), P=0.013]. The use of fluoroquinolones in patients in the septated lobulation group was higher than that in the non-septated lobulation group [20.59% (14/68) vs. 10.11% (27/267), χ 2=5.54, P=0.019]. Conclusion:Compared to patients without septated lobulations, those with septated lobulations had a larger diameter of abscesses, a higher positive rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae on pus culture and a higher proportion of patients receiving fluoroquinolones.

Objective:To establish the normal reference value of lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) under quantitative CT (QCT) in Chinese healthy adult females and to explore the regional differences.Methods:Total of 35 431 healthy women who met the inclusion criteria of Chinese health quantitative CT big data program were selected in this study. The BMD of the central plane of L 1 and L 2 vertebrae was measured by Mindways′s QCT system, and the mean value was taken. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the BMD differences of lumbar vertebrae in women of different ages and regions. The subjects were grouped by an age interval of 10 years, and the level of BMD in different regions of the same age group were compaired. Results:The peak BMD of Chinese healthy adult women appeared in the age group of 20-29 years (Northeast China(183.01±24.58) mg/cm 3, North China (188.93±24.80) mg/cm 3, East China (187.54±27.71) mg/cm 3, South China (186.22±33.72) mg/cm 3, Central China (176.33±24.91) mg/cm 3, Southwest China(182.25±28.00) mg/cm 3), and then it decreased with age. The level of BMD in different regions decreased with the age. Before the age of 70 years, BMD in Central and Southwest China was always at a low level((176.23±24.91) to (90.38±28.12) mg/cm 3, 182.25±28.00 to (88.55±25.68) mg/cm 3), lower than those in Northeast China ((183.01±24.58) to (99.69±27.85) mg/cm 3), North China ((188.93±24.80) to (95.89±26.12) mg/cm 3), East China ((187.54±27.71) to (95.65±27.86) mg/cm 3). After 70 years of age, BMD tended to be the same in different regions ( P>0.05). The BMD values in Central China and Southwest China were similar in the age group of 40-60 years ( P>0.05). The BMD values in the health adult femles in the age group of 60 years in different regions of Chinawere all lower than those of bone mass abnormality (all P<0.05). The detection rate of osteoporosis in females over 50 years was the highest in Southwest China (25.65%) and it was the lowest in North China (17.30%). Conclusions:This study establishes reference values of BMD under QCT in healthy Chinese women, which can be used as a reference basis for identifying women with low BMD who are at risk of osteoporosis. The BMD value is the lowest in Southwest China and the highest in South China.

Mucosal vaccines can effectively induce an immune response at the mucosal site and form the first line of defense against microbial invasion. The induced mucosal immunity includes the proliferation of effector T cells and the production of IgG and IgA antibodies, thereby effectively blocking microbial infection and transmission. However, after a long period of development, the transformation of mucosal vaccines into clinical use is still relatively slow. To date, fewer than ten mucosal vaccines have been approved. Only seven mucosal vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are under investigation in clinical trials. A representative vaccine is the adenovirus type-5 vectored COVID-19 vaccine (Ad5-nCoV) developed by Chen and coworkers, which is currently in phase III clinical trials. The reason for the limited progress of mucosal vaccines may be the complicated mucosal barriers. Therefore, this review summarizes the characteristics of mucosal barriers and highlights strategies to overcome these barriers for effective mucosal vaccine delivery.

Objective:To analyze the policy implementation of family doctors′ contracted services in different regions based on practices in typical regions.Methods:From April to October 2019, we conducted field investigations in 14 regions, collected data on policy formulation and implementation, organizational form and service content of contracting service, incentive mechanism and capacity development. By means of key persons′ interview, we tried to understand the background of district/county policy implementation, as well as policy delivery and existing difficulties. The measurement data were expressed by means, and the qualitative data were used to extract the key content through semantic analysis.Results:The policy of family doctors′ contracted services had been promoted from pilot exploration to normative development. 71.0% of responsible entities of the contracted services in research regions were family doctor teams. Contraction fee has begun to reflect the value of family doctors′ work, while the average contracted service fees in the eastern, central and western regions were 125, 31.25 and 42.5 yuan/person/year respectively. Comprehensive incentives and health insurance policies in some regions played a role in promoting contracted services.Conclusions:It is necessary to establish the family doctors′ " three roles" management concept, namely health gatekeeper, rights exchanger and resource coordinator; strengthen the professional training and capacity promoting of family doctors, implement the connotation of contracted service fees and economic incentives, in order to play the policy′s basic role in constructing a health-centered system.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between YES-related protein 1(YAP1)and prostate-specific antigen(PSA)in human castration-resistant prostate cancer(CRPC), and explore the regulation mechanism of YAP1 on PSA.Methods:The luciferase reporter gene was used to detect the activity change of the PSA gene promoter region after the over expression of YAP1 in LNCaP and C4-2 cells.The effect of over expression of YAP1 gene on PSA protein in different prostate cancer cell lines was detected by Western blot(WB)method, and the effect of YAP1 silencing on PSA protein in C4-2 cells was observed.The Q-PCR method was used to further verify the expression change of PSA mRNA affected by YAP1 gene over expressed in C4-2 cells.Meanwhile, WB was used to explore the effect of YAP1 on androgen receptor(AR)in C4-2 cells.Results:After over expression YAP1 in CRPC, the luciferase experiment showed that the average C4-2 cell ratio of experimental group to control group was 3.17815892(>2 times, P<0.001). After Q-PCR detection of all over-expressed YAP1 gene fragments, the measured PSA mRNA values in the experimental groups were 2.306667, 1.553333333, 2.613333333, and 2.673333333, respectively, which were higher than those in the control group(1 time, P<0.001), indicating that the PSA expression was significantly increased.WB analysis showed that after C4-2 cells over expressed YAP1, the AR band was significantly enhanced in the experimental group compared with the control group, suggesting that the AR protein expression in the nucleus was significantly increased in the YAP1 over expression group. Conclusions:YAP1 might positively regulate the PSA expression in CRPC and have an ability to promote AR translocation into the nucleus.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the fingerprint of raw produc ts and different processed products of Pinellia pedatisecta , to determine the contents of 5 kinds of nucleosides ,and to compare the differences of components between the raw products and processed products. METHODS :P. pedatisecta raw products ,processed products by Processing Standard of Chinese Medicine in Henan Province (called“Standard processed product ”for short )and processed products by new integrated processing technology in the production area (called“new integrated processed product ”for short )were collected as investigation objects (12 batches of each). The determination was performed on SymmetryShield RP 18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile (A)-0.1% acetic acid aqueous water solution (B)(gradient elution )at the flow rate of 0.8 mL/min,with the column temperature of 30 ℃, the detection wavelength of 270 nm,and the injection volume of 15 µL. HPLC fingerprints of 3 kinds of P. pedatisecta samples were established by using Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatographic Fingerprints (2004 A version ) ,and the similarity of fingerprints was evaluated. The chromatographic peaks were identified by comparing with the reference chromatogram. Five nucleosides (adenine,hypoxanthine,uridine,xanthine,inosine)were quantitatively analyzed. SPSS 21.0 software was used for cluster analysis of 36 batches of samples. RESULTS :The results of fingerprint and content determination met the relevant requirements. The similarity of 3 kinds of sample with their control fingerprint were all greater than 0.990. There were 22 common peaks in the raw products of P. pedatisecta ,and 16 common peaks were identified in the 2 kinds of processed products (the same 6 peaks disappeared from 2 kinds of processed products ). Fivecomponents were identified in 3 kinds of samples ,such as adenine(peak 3),hypoxanthine(peak 7),uridine(peak 8), 1064056472@qq.com xanthine(peak 9)and inosine (peak 11). Results of content determination showed that total contents of 5 kinds of nucleosides in 2 kinds of proc essed products were all· decreased;the contents of them in descending order w as raw product >new i ntegrated processed products >Standard processed products. Results of cluster analysis showed that 36 batches of samples could be clustered into 2 categories,i.e. raw product was clustered into one category and 2 kinds of processed products into other one . CONCLUSIONS :Established method is stable , feasible and suitable for the quality evaluation of raw products and different processed products of P. pedatisecta . Fingerprints have changed significantly and the total content of 5 kinds of nucleosides in P. pedatisecta are all decreased after processing ,but that of new integrated processed products is slightly higher than that of Standard processed products .

Objective:To explore the status quo and influencing factors of spiritual health in children with acute leukemia during treatment.Methods:The children with leukemia admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2018 to April 2019 were selected. The general data questionnaire and Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual-12 (FACIT-Sp-12) were used to investigate the status quo of their spiritual health and analyze its influencing factors. A total of 150 questionnaires were distributed and 147 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 98%.Results:The total score of spiritual health among 147 children with acute leukemia was (25.21±6.62) , including (10.17±3.92) for belief, (8.72±2.58) for meaning, and (9.39±3.28) for peace. There were statistically significance differences in spiritual health scores between children with different age, disease type and educational background of their guardians ( P<0.05) . Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, type of disease, and education background of the guardian were factors affecting the spiritual health level of children with leukemia ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The spiritual health of children with acute leukemia is at a medium level, which is related to the age, type of disease and educational background of the guardian. Medical staff should provide spiritual care to children with leukemia and improve the quality of life of children.
