Objective To explore the safety of Yttrium-90 resin microsphere selective internal radiation therapy (90Y-SIRT) on malignant liver tumors. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 64 patients with malignant liver tumors who underwent 90Y-SIRT from February 2023 to November 2024 at Weifang People’s Hospital. The clinical characteristics of the patients and the occurrence of adverse reactions after treatment were analyzed to assess the safety of 90Y-SIRT. Results Among the 64 patients, there were 52 males (81.25%) and 12 females (18.75%); the average age was (56.29±11.08) years. Seven patients (10.94%) had tumors with maximum diameter of less than 5 cm, 38 patients (59.38%) had tumors with maximum diameter of 5-10 cm, and 19 patients (29.68%) had tumors with maximum diameter of greater than 10 cm. There were 47 cases (73.44%) of solitary lesions and 17 cases (26.56%) of multiple lesions; 53 cases (82.81%) were primary liver cancers and 11 cases (17.19%) were metastatic liver cancers. Of the 64 patients, 63 successfully completed the Technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin (99mTc-MAA) perfusion test and received the 90Y-SIRT; one patient received 90Y-SIRT after the second 99mTc-MAA perfusion test due to a work error. The most common adverse reactions included grade 1 alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevation in 26 cases (40.62%) and grade 2 in 2 cases (9.37%), grade 1 aspartate aminotransferase (AST) elevation in 27 cases (42.18%) and grade 2 in 7 cases (10.93%); grade 1 nausea in 17 cases (26.56%) and grade 2 in 6 cases (9.37%); grade 1 abdominal pain in 12 cases (18.75%), grade 2 in 5 cases (7.81%), and grade 3 in 1 case (1.56%); grade 1 vomiting in 11 cases (17.18%), grade 2 in 5 cases (7.81%), and grade 3 in 1 case (1.56%). Conclusion The adverse reactions of 90Y-SIRT for treating malignant liver tumors are mild, indicating good safety.

【Objective】 To explore the diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and long-term follow-up of urogenital solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) and to differentiate the characteristics between benign and malignant SFT. 【Methods】 Clinical data of 20 patients with urogenital SFT treated in our hospital during Jan.2004 and Aug.2021 were respectively analyzed, including the general characteristics, clinical symptoms, imaging results, treatment methods, pathological results, and long-term follow-up results. 【Results】 Of the 20 cases, 9 cases had tumor in kidney, 7 in pelvic cavity, 3 in bladder and 1 in prostate.Six patients showed non-specific clinical symptoms, including lower extremity weakness, urodynia, dysuria, frequent urination with changes in stool habits, low back pain, and abdominal wall mass with abdominal pain, and the other 14 cases were asymptomatic.The median diameter of SFT was 5.2 cm (range:1.7-15.0 cm).All patients received surgical treatment, including robotic-assisted surgery in 8 cases, open surgery in 5 cases, laparoscopic surgery in 5 cases, and transurethral resection of tumor in 2 cases.CT plain scan showed high, low and mixed density soft tissue masses, and enhanced CT showed enhanced results.Pathology results revealed frequent nuclear divisions, morphological variations and necrosis in malignant SFT, which had higher expression of Ki-67 than benign SFT.The results of the modified Demicco prognostic risk stratification model showed that all malignant SFT cases were at intermediate risk. The DFS of the SFT radical tumor resection group was slightly longer than that of the simple tumor resection group but the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.203). 【Conclusion】 Markers such as CD34, Bcl2, STAT6 and CD99 are used to diagnose SFT, while Ki-67 and tumor necrosis are used to differentiate benign and malignant SFT.The modified Demicco prognostic risk stratification model plays an important role in predicting the prognosis of SFT.Surgical resection is the most common treatment with excellent prognosis.In addition, benign SFT has much better prognosis than malignant case.

Objective:To explore the correlation between time in range (TIR) after short-term treatment and glycated hemoglobin after 3 months (HbA lc-3m) in patients with newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods:In this cross-sectional study, a total of 94 patients with newly-diagnosed T2DM who received treatment in the Department of Endocrinology of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region People′s Hospital were enrolled from January 2018 to September 2022. The patients were followed-up for 3 months and had complete medical record. TIR was divided into three groups according to different target ranges of blood glucose (TIR1: TIR with blood glucose between 3.9 and 10.0 mmol/L, TIR2: TIR with blood glucose between 3.9 and 7.8 mmol/L, TIR3: TIR with fasting, premeal or bedtime blood glucose <6.1 mmol/L and 2 h postprandial blood glucose <8.0 mmol/L). The patients were divided into two groups based on whether their HbA 1c-3m level was less than 6.5%, and the baseline data and variations in TIR for distinct target glucose levels were compared between the two groups. Spearman′s correlation analysis and binary logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship between baseline indicators, TIR after short-term treatment and HbA 1c-3m. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn to evaluate the predictive ability of different TIR after short-term therapy for HbA 1c-3m. Results:There were statistically significant differences in TIR1 [81.0 (67.5, 94.6)% vs 71.4 (51.7, 85.7)%], TIR2 [57.7 (29.7, 70.8)% vs 40.9 (22.4, 52.3)%] and TIR3 [23.8 (10.2, 39.5)% vs 13.0 (4.8, 25.0)%] between patients with a HbA 1c-3m<6.5% and patients with a HbA 1c-3m≥6.5% (all P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that among all the patients with newly-diagnosed T2DM, TIR1, TIR2 and TIR3 were all negatively correlated with HbA 1c-3m [6.4 (6.1, 6.9)%] ( r=-0.322, -0.348, -0.303, respectively, all P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for the confounding factors, TIR1 ( OR=1.021, 95% CI: 1.002-1.041; P=0.034), TIR2 ( OR=1.024, 95% CI: 1.006-1.043; P=0.011), TIR3 ( OR=1.037, 95% CI: 1.010-1.065; P=0.008) were all independently related to HbA 1c-3m. When HbA lc-3m<6.5% was taken as the target value, the area under the ROC curve: TIR1 was 0.639 (95% CI: 0.528-0.751), TIR2 was 0.671 (95% CI: 0.560-0.782), TIR3 was 0.659 (95% CI: 0.549-0.770), respectively. When HbA lc-3m<7.0% was taken as the target value, the area under the ROC curve: TIR1 was 0. 730 (95% CI: 0.619-0.841), TIR2 was 0.744 (95% CI: 0.642-0.846), TIR3 was 0.701 (95% CI: 0.588-0.814). There was no significant difference in the area among the three statistics ( P>0.05). Conclusions:For newly-diagnosed T2DM patients, TIR after short-term treatment is negatively correlated with HbA 1c after 3 months and has good predictive value for it.

ObjectiveTo explore the efficacy and safety of Lianhua Qingwen preparation in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). MethodThe PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Collaboration,CNKI,VIP,and Wanfang Medical Network database (CBM) were systematically searched for all the randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTS) of Lianhua Qingwen Preparation in the treatment of CAP from the establishment of the databases to February 2023. The inclusion criteria were established, and the search results were screened. The risk assessment tool (ROB) scale was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the final included studies, and the R software was used for data integration and meta-analysis. ResultA total of 30 pieces of literature were included,involving 2 800 patients. The combined use of Lianhua Qingwen preparation on the basis of antibiotics and other conventional treatments showed that Lianhua Qingwen preparation could improve the cure rate [relative risk(RR)=1.32,95% confidence interval(95% CI)[1.23,1.42],P<0.000 1)] and shorten the time of fever remission [Mean difference(MD)=-1.45,95% CI [-1.93,-0.97],P<0.000 1],and the duration of fever reduction was divided into general population and special population subgroups. The results showed that Lianhua Qingwan preparation could shorten the duration of fever reduction (general population MD=-1.51,95%CI [-2.07,-0.94],P<0.000 1, special population MD=-1.22,95% CI [-2.16,-0.29],P=0.010 6)and does not increase the incidence of adverse reactions(RR=0.85,95%CI [0.62,1.15],P<0.000 1). After nine pieces of virtual literature with negative results were supplemented by the shear compensation method,the cure rate of CAP by Lianhua Qingwan preparation was still improved (RR=1.20,95%CI [1.13,1.29],P<0.000 1). ConclusionThe application of Lianhua Qingwen preparation on the basis of antibiotics in the treatment of CAP can improve the cure rate and shorten the time of fever reduction.

Background Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of persistent organic pollu-tants. Industrial production and consumer use of PFAS are the primary sources of exposure in urban areas. E-waste recycling activities are also a significant source of environmental PFAS exposure. Objective To compare exposure profiles between traditional and emerging PFAS in neonatal cord blood collected from an e-waste recycling area and a general exposure area characterized by modern economic development (hereafter referred to as general exposure area). Methods Based on a birth cohort study conducted in 2018, 85 pregnant women were recruited (36 participants from an e-waste recycling area and 49 participants from a general exposure area). Neonatal cord blood was collected at delivery. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was used to detect 28 common PFAS in the blood. A structured questionnaire was used to gather sociodemographic characteristics of the pregnant women. Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare PFAS exposure levels in neonatal cord blood between the e-waste recycling area and the general exposure area. Multiple linear regression models were used to explore the influence of residing in the e-waste recycling area on neonatal PFAS exposure, with area as the independent variable and the natural logarithm of PFAS exposure levels as the dependent variable. Results A total of 22 PFAS were positive in neonatal cord blood, of which 13 congeners were 100% detectable in the samples from both areas. The median ∑PFAS exposure levels in neonatal cord blood were 14.19 ng·mL−1 and 14.02 ng·mL−1 for the e-waste recycling area and the general exposure area, respectively, with linear perfluorooctanoic acid (L-PFOA) showing the highest median concentration (5.49 ng·mL−1 and 6.39 ng·mL−1, respectively). The results of Mann-Whitney U tests showed that the median exposure levels of long-chain perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA), perfluoroundecanoic acid (PFUnDA), perfluorododecanoic acid (PFDoDA), and perfluorotridecanoic acid (PFTrDA), as well as emerging alternatives 6:2 chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonate (6:2 Cl-PFESA) and 8:2 chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonate (8:2 Cl-PFESA), were higher in the e-waste recycling area than in the general exposure area. In contrast, the median exposure levels of short-chain perfluoropentanoic acid (PFPeA) and perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA), as well as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) branched isomers, including perfluoro-6-methylheptanoic acid (iso-PFOA), perfluoro-5-methylheptanoic acid (5m-PFOA), and perfluoro-4-methylheptanoic acid (4m-PFOA), were lower in the e-waste recycling area than in the general exposure area (P<0.05). The multiple linear regression models showed that, compared to the general exposure area, neonatal cord blood in the e-waste recycling area had significantly higher exposure levels of long-chain PFDA, PFUnDA, PFDoDA, PFTrDA, and emerging alternatives 6:2 Cl-PFESA and 8:2 Cl-PFESA, with odds ratios of 1.95 (95%CI: 1.39-2.75), 2.10 (95%CI: 1.58-2.75), 2.12 (95%CI: 1.39-3.25), 2.64 (95%CI: 1.63-4.22), 3.46 (95%CI: 2.34-5.10), and 3.25 (95%CI: 2.01-5.26), respectively. Conversely, the exposure levels of short-chain PFPeA, PFHxA, and branched PFOA (br-PFOA) were significantly lower, with odds ratios of 0.44 (95%CI: 0.38-0.52), 0.30 (95%CI: 0.16-0.57), and 0.50 (95%CI: 0.38-0.67), respectively. Conclusion PFAS are widely present in neonatal cord blood in both the e-waste recycling area and the general exposure area. Compared to the general exposure area, the neonatal cord blood samples in the e-waste recycling area show higher exposure levels of certain long-chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCA) and emerging PFAS alternatives, while the neonatal cord blood samples in the general exposure area show higher exposure levels of some short-chain PFCA and PFOA branched isomers.

Objective:To investigate and compare the clinical outcomes of the arterial pre-occlusion technique(APOT) and the traditional technique in the surgery of locally advanced pancreatic cancer with arterial involvement after conversion therapy.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study. The clinical data of 145 patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer with arterial involvement admitted to the Department of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery of the First Hospital Affiliated to Naval Medical University,from January 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients completed neoadjuvant therapy for tumors, and the feasibility of radical surgical treatment was determined by a multidisciplinary collaborative team evaluation before surgery. According to whether the intraoperative artery was pre-occluded, 145 patients were divided into two groups, including 28 cases in the APOT group(16 males, 12 females, aged (59.0±9.4) years), and 117 cases in the routine surgery group(76 males, 41 females, aged (55.1±8.2) years). To ensure comparability of baseline data between the APOT group and the routine surgery group, a 1∶2 match was performed using the propensity score matching method, and the caliper value was 0.006 45. The t-test,the Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test or Fisher′s exact test were used to compare the data between the two groups,respectively. Results:After matching the propensity score,there were 28 cases in the APOT group and 56 cases in the routine surgery group. There were no significant differences in gender,age,preoperative comorbidities,preoperative body mass index,surgical approaches,chemotherapy regimen,stereotactic body radiation therapy ratio,tumor markers,and type of invaded artery between the two groups (all P>0.05).The arterial occlusion time M(IQR) in the APOT group was 7.0(3.8)minutes(range:3 to 15 minutes),and no ischemic manifestations were observed in the distal target organs that blocked blood vessels after surgery. The operation time was (170.3±57.7)minutes in the APOT group and (235.0±80.2)minutes in the routine surgery group,and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-3.800, P<0.01). The APOT group also experienced less intraoperative blood loss(650(588)ml vs. 800(600)ml; U=1 026.500, P=0.021). No significant differences were found between the groups in combined vein resection and reconstruction,celiac trunk resection,early postoperative complications, readmission rates at 30 days,and postoperative length of stay(all P>0.05). Extra-arterial dissection was performed in all patients,with arterial resection and reconstruction in 3 cases: 2 cases in the APOT group(1 case involving the superior mesenteric artery and 1 case involving the common hepatic artery) and 1 case in the routine group(involving the common hepatic artery). Postoperative abdominal bleeding occurred in 4 cases,with 3 cases in the routine group,1 case in the routine group. The R0 resection rate was 85.7%(24/28) in the APOT group and 80.4%(45/56) in the routine group,without significant differences between the groups( P=0.763). The median overall survival time was 27.6 months for the APOT group and 22.5 months for the routine group,while the median disease-free survival was 11.7 months and 16.8 months,respectively,with no significant differences between the two groups( P=0.532, P=0.927). Conclusion:The arterial pre-occlusion technique can be used for extra-arterial dissection in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer involving the arteries,reducing surgery time and intraoperative blood loss.
