High-risk neuroblastoma (NB) is highly aggressive and has poor prognosis. Treatment of NB mainly includes comprehensive therapies, of which radiotherapy serves as a part of consolidation therapy. For patients who receive complete resection of the primary lesion, usually an irradiation dose of 21-23.4 Gy is given; for patients with incomplete resection, further study focused on radiation dose is necessary. Recurrence is most commonly observed in the bone lesions involved at presentation. Currently, the principle of irradiation to the metastatic sites is to treat lesions where metaio-dobenzylguanidine (MIBG) uptake remains positive after induction chemotherapy, or those become negative uptake but still at high risk of recurrence. On the premise of lacking of MIBG imaging, positron emission tomography CT (PET-CT) may assist in screening for metastatic sites requiring irradiation. The late side effects of radiotherapy are mainly mild musculoskeletal abnormalities. No significant increase is observed in the incidence of second primary tumor during short-term follow-up.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of gene polymorphism on the efficacy and safety of citalopram/escitalopram， and to provide evidence-based reference for precision medication. METHODS Retrieved from PubMed， Embase， the Cochrane Library， CNKI， Wanfang data and SinoMed， clinical studies about the association of gene polymorphism with efficacy and safety of citalopram/escitalopram were collected. Meta-analysis was performed with RevMan 5.3 software after literature screening， data extraction and quality evaluation based on Newcastle-Ottawa scale. RESULTS Totally 35 pieces of literature were included， all of which were cohort studies， with a total of 9 836 patients. Meta-analysis showed that the SLC6A4 gene 5-serotonin transporter linked polymorphic region （HTTLPR） LL genotype was associated with high response rate of citalopram/escitalopram [LS/SS vs. LL： OR＝0.47， 95%CI （0.22， 0.98）， P＝0.05]； results of subgroup analysis suggested a higher correlation in white people with LL genotype and escitalopram； there was no significant correlation of HTTLPR genotype with remission rate [LS/SS vs. LL： OR＝ 0.92，95%CI（0.77， 1.10）， P＞0.05； SS vs. LL/LS：OR＝0.73， 95%CI（0.45， 1.19）， P＞0.05] or overall incidence of ADR in patients with gene SLC6A4； but high expression of rs25531 LA was significantly associated with reduced incidence of ADR（P＜ 0.05）. CYP2C19*2/*3 allele was significantly associated with slowed metabolism， higher response rate and increased incidence of ADR. CONCLUSIONS HTTLPR LL genotype is associated with the increased response rate of citalopram/escitalopram， but no significant correlation with safety is found， while CYP2C19*2/*3 allele is significantly associated with higher response rate and reduced tolerability.

Objective:To explore relationship between serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D ( 25OHD ) level and ketosis-prone in patients with newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods:One hundred and thirty-four patients with newly diagnosed T2DM (103 males, 31 females) admitted in The Third Affiliated Hospital, Southern Medical University from January 2017 to January 2019 were enrolled into this study, including 36 patients with ketosis-prone (KPDM group) and 98 patients without ketosis(NKPDM group). Clinical characteristics, including height, weight, and history of hypertensive disease were collected. Serum 25OHD levels, lipid profile, islet function and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA 1C)levels, ICA, IAA, GAD-Ab, etc., were measured. Results:Among the 134 patients, the patients with vitamin D deficiency, insufficiency, and sufficiency were 71 cases(52.99%), 52 cases(38.81%), and 11 cases(8.20%), respectively. KPDM group had significantly lower serum 25OHD level than NKPDM group[(44.12±9.77) nmol/L vs (55.35±15.31) nmol/L, P<0.01]. The rate of vitamin D deficiency was significantly higher in KPDM group compared to that in NKPDM group [(77.78% vs 43.88%), P<0.01]. The prevalence of KPDM varied significantly in different vitamin D status groups( P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis suggested that low serum 25OHD, younger age, high HbA 1C, and triglyceride were risk factors to ketosis-prone in newly diagnosed T2DM( P<0.01). Conclusion:Vitamin D deficiency is a common problem in newly diagnosed T2DM, especially in KPDM. Low serum 25OHD level seems to be an independent risk factor for ketosis-prone in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism by which Melittin-K1 reverses multidrug resistance of BEL-7402/5-FU cells.Methods:CCK-8 assay was used to evaluate the effect of Melittin-K1 on the growth of BEL-7402/5-FU cells and to explore whether Melittin-K1 could reverse the drug resistance of BEL-7402/5-FU cells. The expression of MDR1 mRNA level was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR assay. The flow cytometry was used to measure the expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) on the cell membrane surface and the accumulation of rhodamine-123 in cells.Results:Melittin-K1 significantly inhibited the growth of BEL-7402/5-FU cells in vitro in a time and dose-dependent manner. Melittin-K1 suppressed the level of MDR1 mRNA and inhibited the surface expression and function of P-gp in BEL-7402/5-FU cells. Conclusions:Melittin-K1, a novel peptide, exhibited the activity of reversing multidrug resistance of liver cancer cells.

Objective:To survey and supervise the risk of infection control and radiation safety in the radiological diagnostic workplace for COVID-19, and provide data support for the safety protection of radiographers and related staff.Methods:4 emergency hospitals for COVID-19 including 2 makeshift hospitals, module hospital and brick pattern hospital in Hubei province were performed for testing and evaluation of imaging performance and radiological protection for the 8 new installed CT scanners and places according to the national standards of WS 519-2019 and GBZ 130-2013. The infection control safety factors such as the layout of the equipment room were monitored and investigated. Two COVID-19 designated hospitals including general hospital and infectious disease specialized hospital were selected to carry out field investigation and sampling of environmental biological samples for 4 CT rooms. Then the samples were detected for the nucleic acid of novel coronavirus. The results of radiodiagnostic workplace overall arrangement, infection prevention and the nucleic acid testing were analyzed, and the biological safety reliability and risk point were evaluated.Results:The indicators of imaging performance and radiation protection for 8 CT scanners in emergency hospitals could meet the requirements of national standards.Each of 2 makeshift hospitals had 3 CT rooms with the area of 38.8 m 2 and 4 mm Pb equivalent thickness of protective shielding. The CT rooms in module hospital and brick pattern hospital were 20.0 m 2, and 35.8 m 2 in areas, with 4 mm Pb equivalent and 3 mm Pb equivalent thickness of protection shielding, respectively. The 8 radiological diagnostic workplaces of the emergency hospitals were designed and constructed based on " three zones with two passage ways" . The result of the nucleic acid test indicated that the positive samples were found at the multiple sites such as scanning bed, internal of gantry and ground touched by patients in CT scanning room. The areas such as console panel and ground were risked of pollution by the virus infected hands and feet of radiographers. In addition, the similar positive samples were found in the areas in scanning room with no touch of patients, such as observation window and air outlet. Conclusions:8 CT scanners and rooms in 4 emergency hospitals basically meet the requirements of imaging performance and radiation protection. The disinfection of COVID-19 radiodiagnostic workplace should be standardized.

Objective To investigate the quantitative value of the signal intensity ratio of extraocular muscle and ipsilateral white matter measured by MRI for the evaluation of activity in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy. Methods A total of 129 patients and 245 eyeballs with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy were enrolled in this study and this 245 eyeballs were set as thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy group(TAO group). There were 10 patients with newly diagnosed Graves'disease and in the same period and these 20 eyeballs were set as graves'disease group(GD group). 32 normal people from annual physical test excluded thyroid and eye diseases and their 64 eyes were selected randomly for the normal control group(NC group). The signal intensity of the extraocular muscle and the ipsilateral white matter on the MRI images were measured, while did exophthalmos and the width of the inner fat of eyeballs (FWs)measurements in the same time. Results SIR,FWs,and exophthalmos of TAO group were higher than those of the other 2 groups[SIRs:1.71(1.40,2.10)vs 1.26(1.22,1.34)and 1.23(1.14,1.32);FWs:8.04(6.70, 8.71)mm vs 6.16(4.86,7.08)mm and 6.93(6.41,7.65)mm,exophthalmos:20.10(18.56,22.15)mm vs 15.40(14.87,16.60)mm and 14.73(13.40,16.07)mm,all P<0.05]. The reference value of SIR establishing based on SIRs of NC group is less than 1.37. In total 129 TAO patients,55 patients(with 106 eyeballs)have a clinical activity score(CAS). Then,these eyeballs were grouped to activity and non-activity(grouped by CAS≥3),and the baseline group difference of these 2 groups was not statistically significant. The SIRs and exophthalmos of activity group were higher than the non-activity group[SIRs:1.70(1.45,2.33)vs 1.41(1.25,1.75); exophthalmos:(20.38 ± 2.40)mm vs(19.05 ± 3.70)mm,all P<0.05]. But the difference of FWs of these two groups was not statistically significant(P>0.05). The SIRs and CAS had a positive correlation(r=0.580,P=0.000),through the receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)we get the best diagnostic performance of TAO activity when the SIR≥1.56(sensibility=65.6%,specificity=89.1%,AUC=0.815,P=0.000). Conclusion The signal intensity ratio of extraocular muscle and ipsilateral white matter may discriminate the activity of TAO early as a quantitative indicator, reflecting its efficacy,and is worth clinically generalizing.

Objective To explore the application of evidence-based nursing in patients with coronary atherosclerosis heart disease (CHD)who received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)in selected days.Methods A total of 85 CHD patients undergoing PCI in selected days were randomly divided into observation group (43 cases)and control group (42 cases).Control group was treated with routine nursing while observation group with evidence-based nursing.Re-sults The compliance rates of observation group was 95.35%,evidently higher than the 78.57%in control group (P <0.05).Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS)and self-rating depression scale (SDS)scores decreased markedly in both groups after interventions than intervention before, which were apparently lower in observation group than in control group,and there was significant difference (P <0.05).One month after operation,observation group was obviously higher in seat-tle angina questionnaire (SAQ)than control group (P <0.01).Conclusion Evidence-based nursing can increase the therapeutic compliance,promote the negative emotions and improve the postoperative quality of life of CHD patients with PCI.
