Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of different cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) combined with endocrine therapy (ET) for the treatment of hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2−) advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on CDK4/6i for the treatment of HR+/HER2− metastatic or advanced breast cancer were retrieved from databases including PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and SinoMed, with the search period ranging from database inception to August 2023. Bayesian network meta-analysis was conducted using R 4.2.0 software. Results A total of 18 RCTs from 25 articles, involving 8 031 patients and 11 treatment regimens, were included. There was no significant difference in progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) among different CDK4/6i+ET combinations. The highest cumulative probability for PFS was observed with dalpiciclib (DAL)+fulvestrant (FUL), while ribociclib (RIB)+FUL ranked first for OS. In terms of efficacy, abemaciclib (ABE)+aromatase inhibitors (AI) and ABE+FUL ranked first in objective response rate and clinical benefit rate, respectively. Regarding safety, statistically significant difference in grade 3-4 adverse events was observed among certain types of CDK4/6i (P<0.05). Conclusion Current evidence suggests that CDK4/6i+ET is superior to ET alone for the treatment of HR+/HER2− advanced/metastatic breast cancer. Different CDK4/6i+ET combinations demonstrate comparable or similar efficacy; however, the incidence of adverse reactions is higher with combination therapy. Treatment regimens should be selected based on individual conditions.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the status quo of recognition and management of renal colic among urological surgeons in China. METHODS: From November 2021 to March 2022, 725 urological surgeons in China were surveyed in the form of a questionnaire, including their province, hospital grade, professional title, the number of patients with renal colic treated per week, the preferred drugs and the cognition of the disease. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Peking University People's Hospital, and all respondents completed informed consent online. RESULTS: During November 2021 and March 2022, urological surgeons across China were surveyed in the form of a questionnaire, and the reliability and validity of the questionnaire were verified before the study was carried out. In the study, 720 valid questionnaires were collected (accounting for 99.31% of the total number), in which 42.4% of the doctors' preferred drugs were non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and 40.0% of the doctors' preferred antispasmodic drugs. Opioids were the first choice of 11.0% of the physicians and other treatments were preferred by 6.6% of physicians. In addition, 61.1% of the doctors thought that the mechanism of renal colic was elevated prostaglandin, 32.2% thought it was ureteral spasm, 5.0% thought it was calculi irritation, and 1.7% thought the mechanism was unclear. The doctor of the cognition of the generation mechanism of renal colic pain had a significant influence on the preferred treatment option (χ²=54.399, P < 0.001) that the "elevated prostaglandins" doctor more often preferred NSAIDs than the doctor who thought cramps and ureter stones caused renal colic (51.6% vs. 28.0%, χ²=34.356, P < 0.001;51.6% vs. 19.4%, χ²=13.759, P < 0.001). In addition, hospital class, physician title, and the number of weekly consultations by physicians influenced the choice of medications for renal colic (P < 0.05), tertiary hospitals, middle and senior professional titles and weekly patients with renal colic > 8 cases generally preferred NSAIDs. CONCLUSION There are deficiencies in the cognition and drug treatment of renal colic among urological surgeons in China. The choice of the preferred drug was related to the doctor's cognition of the disease, the grade of the hospital, the doctor's professional title and the weekly treatment volume.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with programmed death-1 (PD-1) antibody in operable, borderline or potentially resectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC) in the real world. Methods: The study retrospectively analyzed 28 patients with operable or potentially resectable locally advanced ESCC patients treated with preoperative chemotherapy combined with PD-1 inhibitor in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from April 2020 to March 2021. According to the clinical TNM staging system of the 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer, there were 1, 15, 10, 1 and 1 case of stage Ⅱ, Ⅲ, ⅣA, ⅣB and unknown stage respectively. The treatment was two cycle of dual drug chemotherapy regimen including taxane plus platinum or fluorouracil combined with PD-1 antibody followed by tumor response assessment and surgery if the patient was eligible for resection. Results: Of the 28 patients, 1, 2, 3 and 4 cycles of chemotherapy combined with PD-1 antibody treatment completed in 1, 21, 5, and 1 patient, respectively. Objective response rate (ORR) was 71.4% (20/28), and disease control rate (DCR) was 100% (28/28). The incidence of adverse events exceeding grade 3 levels was 21.4% (6/28), including 3 neutropenia, 1 leukopenia, 1 thrombocytopenia and 1 immune hepatitis. There was no treatment-related death. Of the 23 patients underwent surgery, R0 resection rate was 87.0% (20/23), 13 patients had down staged to the T1-2N0M0 I stage, the pCR rate was 17.3% (4/23), and the pCR rate of primary tumor was 21.7% (5/23). Four patients received definitive chemoradiotherapy. One patient rejected surgery and other treatment after achieved PR response. Conclusion: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined PD-1 inhibitor is safe and has high efficacy in operable, borderline or potentially resectable locally advanced ESCC, and it is a promising regimen.

Objective     To investigate the risk factors for postoperative complications Clavien-Dindo classification≥grade Ⅱ after lung cancer surgery. Methods     The patients who underwent lung cancer surgery in a multicenter observational study from November 2017 to January 2020 were included. The Clavien-Dindo classification of postoperative complications was analyzed. Logistic regression was used to identify the risk factors for complications≥ gradeⅡ. Results     A total of 388 patients were enrolled, including 203 males and 185 females with a mean age of 56.14±10.36 years. The incidence of postoperative complications was 25.52% (99/388) after lung cancer surgery and the incidence of complications≥gradeⅡ was 20.10% (78/388). The five most common postoperative complications were pneumonia (6.96%), prolonged pulmonary air leak (>7 days, 5.67%), incision dehiscence (4.64%), arrhythmia (3.87%), and postoperative pleural effusion (3.35%). Multivariate analysis showed that open surgery [reference: uniportal thoracoscopic surgery, OR=2.18, 95%CI (1.01, 4.70), P=0.047], extended resection [reference: sublobar resection, OR=2.86, 95%CI (1.11, 7.19), P=0.030; reference: lobectomy, OR=2.20, 95%CI (1.10, 4.40), P=0.026] and operative time≥3 h [OR=2.07, 95%CI (1.12, 3.85), P=0.021] were independent risk factors for postoperative complications≥gradeⅡ after lung cancer surgery. Conclusion     Surgical approach, extent of resection and operative time are independent influencing factors for postoperative complications≥gradeⅡ after lung cancer surgery.

Objective: Several COVID-19 patients have overlapping comorbidities. The independent role of each component contributing to the risk of COVID-19 is unknown, and how some non-cardiometabolic comorbidities affect the risk of COVID-19 remains unclear. Methods: A retrospective follow-up design was adopted. A total of 1,160 laboratory-confirmed patients were enrolled from nine provinces in China. Data on comorbidities were obtained from the patients' medical records. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate the odds ratio ( Results: Overall, 158 (13.6%) patients were diagnosed with severe illness and 32 (2.7%) had unfavorable outcomes. Hypertension (2.87, 1.30-6.32), type 2 diabetes (T2DM) (3.57, 2.32-5.49), cardiovascular disease (CVD) (3.78, 1.81-7.89), fatty liver disease (7.53, 1.96-28.96), hyperlipidemia (2.15, 1.26-3.67), other lung diseases (6.00, 3.01-11.96), and electrolyte imbalance (10.40, 3.00-26.10) were independently linked to increased odds of being severely ill. T2DM (6.07, 2.89-12.75), CVD (8.47, 6.03-11.89), and electrolyte imbalance (19.44, 11.47-32.96) were also strong predictors of unfavorable outcomes. Women with comorbidities were more likely to have severe disease on admission (5.46, 3.25-9.19), while men with comorbidities were more likely to have unfavorable treatment outcomes (6.58, 1.46-29.64) within two weeks. Conclusion Besides hypertension, diabetes, and CVD, fatty liver disease, hyperlipidemia, other lung diseases, and electrolyte imbalance were independent risk factors for COVID-19 severity and poor treatment outcome. Women with comorbidities were more likely to have severe disease, while men with comorbidities were more likely to have unfavorable treatment outcomes.

Their structures were established by extensive NMR analyses together with experimental and calculated ECD spectra analyses. Compounds 1, 2, 3, 7 and 11 showed inhibitory activities on lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production in RAW264.7 cells.

Objective To investigate the effects of the eye drops containing deproteinized calf blood extract on the ocular surface and tear film at the early stage of orthokeratology treatment in myopic adolescents.Methods Together 59 myopia (118eyes) who received vision correction by orthokeratology lens between June 2016 and October 2016 were included in this study,and they were randomly assigned into two groups:the treatment group,29 patients (58 eyes) receiving the eye drops containing deproteinized calf blood extract to presumably promote the repair of corneal epithelium,and the control group,30 patients (60 eyes) without receiving such eye drops.For each subject,the surface regularity index (SRI) and objective scattering index (OSI)were recorded;lipid layer thickness (LLT) and tear film break-up time (BUT) were measured,and finally fluorescein stain of corneal epithelium and the ocular surface disease index (OSDI) questionnaire were performed before treatment and 1 week and 1 month after lens wearing.Results The treatment group showed significantly lower rate of corneal staining than the control group at 1 week (10.3％ vs.33.3％,all P ＜0.05) and 1 month after treatment (8.6％ vs.26.7％,all P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in LLT at 1 week and 1 month after treatment and before treatment (all P ＞ 0.05).Both corneal curvature and BUT were decreased,while SRI,OSI,and OSDI score were increased significantly after 1-week lens wearing (all P ＜ 0.05),but there was no significant difference at 1 week and 1 month after lens wearing (all P ＞ 0.05).Moreover,there was no significant difference in corneal curvature,SRI,BUT,LLT,OSI,and OSDI score at different time points between the treatment group and the control group (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Eye drops containing deproteinized calf blood extract can protect and repair the corneal epithelium at the early stage of orthokeratology treatment.

Objective The loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) is a major option for the treatment of cervical in-traepithelial neoplastic (CIN) lesions,but reports are rarely seen on the consistency of the result of post-LEEP pathology with that of preoperative biopsy as well as on the postoperative pathological upgrading of related factors. This study analyzes the consistency of the result of preoperative biopsy with that of post-LEEP pathology for CIN lesions and the risk factors for residual and/or recurrence after LEEP. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 1 089 patients with CIN lesions treated by LEEP in our hospital from May 2014 to A-pril 2017. All the patients underwent liquid-based thin-layer cytology (TCT) and vaginoscopic biopsy preoperatively,followed by analysis of the results of TCT,the consistency of the result of preoperative bi-opsy with that of post-LEEP pathology,and the risk factors for residu- al and/or recurrence after LEEP. Results Preoperative biopsy showed 447 cases of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL),among which TCT revealed 85 cases negative for intraepithelial lesion and malignancy (NILM),with a false negative rate of LSIL of 19.0%. Of the 645 cases of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) revealed by preoperative biopsy,TCT manifes-ted 95 cases of NILM,with a false negative rate of HSIL of 14.7%,which was significantly lower than that of LSIL (P<0.05). Preop-erative biopsy showed 447 cases of LSIL,among which post-LEEP pathology manifested 316 cases of LSIL (70.69%) and 51 cases of HSIL (11.4%). Of the 635 cases of HSIL revealed by preoperative biopsy,post-LEEP pathology exhibited 4 cases (0.63%) of inva-sive cervical cancer (ICC). Multivariate analysis showed the risk factors for pathological upgrading after LEEP were sexual partners >2 (OR=0.139,95% CI: 0.034-0.561) and LSIL in TCT (OR=0.111,95% CI: 0.040-0.310) (P<0.05) and those for postopera-tive recurrence included positive incision margin (OR=2.970,95% CI: 1.010-8.733) and persistent human papilloma virus (HPV) infection (OR=5.446,95% CI: 3.109-9.540). Preoperative HPV16 infection was correlated with lesion residual and/or recurrence after LEEP (P<0.05). Conclusion LEEP can significantly improve the diagnosis rate of HSIL in low-grade CIN patients with high risk factors. The risk factors for lesion residual and/or recurrence after LEEP include HPV16 infection,lesion involvement of the inci-sion margin,and persistent HPV infection.
