Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of newly-treated patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL).Methods:Clinical data of 117 newly-treated PCNSL patients who were admitted to the First Hospital of Jilin University, the Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital, Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital, and Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College from August 2009 to February 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients' age, sex, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) physical status (PS) score, pathological type, involvement of deep brain tissue, number of lesions, cerebrospinal fluid protein concentration, International Extranodal Lymphoma Study Group (IELSG) score, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) score, treatment strategy, and response after the first-line therapy were analyzed using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models to identify the independent influencing factors for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of PCNSL patients. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis.Results:In 117 newly-treated PCNSL patients, 59 cases (50.4%) presented with increased intracranial pressure or focal neurological symptoms at diagnosis; there were 65 cases (55.6%) with single lesions and 52 cases (44.4%) with multiple lesions; 1 patient (0.9%) had lymphoma of T-cell origin, and 116 cases (99.1%) had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Among 95 evaluable patients, 41 patients (43.2%) achieved complete remission (CR), 20 patients (21.1%) achieved partial remission (PR), 16 patients (16.8%) achieved stable disease (SD), and 18 patients (18.9%) had progressive disease (PD). In 117 patients with median follow-up of 66.0 months (95% CI 57.9-74.1 months), the median PFS and OS were 17.4 months (95% CI 11.5-23.3 months) and 45.6 months (95% CI 20.1-71.1 months), respectively. The 2-, 3- and 5-year PFS rates were 41.2%, 28.6% and 19.3%, and OS rates were 63.7%, 52.4% and 46.3%, respectively. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that baseline high-risk MSKCC score group was an adverse prognostic factor for PFS ( P = 0.037), and the first-line chemotherapy with ≥4 cycles of high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX), HDMTX in combination with rituximab, ≥4 cycles of rituximab in combination with HDMTX, and achieving CR or ≥PR after the first-line treatment reduced the risk of disease progression and prolonged the PFS time (all P <0.01); age >60 years old, ECOG-PS score of 2-4 points, elevated cerebrospinal fluid protein concentration, high-risk IELSG score, and high-risk MSKCC score were adverse prognostic factors for OS, and ≥4 cycles of HDMTX and achieving CR or ≥PR after the first-line treatment were favorable factors for OS. Multivariate Cox regression analysis verified that rituximab in combination with HDMTX (yes vs. no: HR = 0.349, 95% CI 0.133-0.912, P = 0.032) and achieving ≥PR after the first-line chemotherapy (yes vs. no: HR = 0.028, 95% CI 0.004-0.195, P < 0.001) were independent favorable factors for PFS; age >60 years old (>60 years old vs. ≤60 years old: HR = 10.878, 95% CI 1.807-65.488, P = 0.009) was independent unfavorable factor for OS, while ≥4 cycles of HDMTX treatment (≥4 cycles vs. <4 cycles: HR = 0.225, 95% CI 0.053-0.947, P = 0.042) was independent favorable factor for OS. Conclusions:The older the PCNSL patients at initial treatment, the worse the prognosis. Intensive and continuous treatment for achieving deeper remission may be the key for improving the outcome of PCNSL patients.

Objective: To analyze the frequency and composition of risk-related cytogenetic abnormalities (CAs) in patients with newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) . Methods: The frequency and composition of risk-related CAs from a cohort of 1 015 Chinese patients with NDMM were determined by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (iFISH) , individually or in combination. Results: Of the cohort of 1 015 Chinese patients with NDMM, the frequencies of IgH arrangement, del (13q) /13q14, 1q gain and del (17p) were 54.0%, 46.4%, 46.1% (35.8% and 12. 7% for 3 or more than 3 copies) and 9.9%, respectively. Among 454 patients who had the baseline information for all risk-related CAs [except t (14;20) , which was not covered by the FISH panels performed routinely at all five centers], the frequencies of t (4;14) , t (11;14) or t (14;20) were 14.1%, 11.2% and 4.8%, respectively; of them, 44.3% patients carried 2 or more CAs (28.0%, 13.4% and 2.9% for 2, 3 or ≥4 CAs) ; 83.3%, 95.0% or 68.6% patients with 1q gain, del (17p) or IgH rearrangement had 1 or more additional CA (s) , with del (13q) /13q14 as the most frequently accompanied CA; 57.7% patients carried at least 1 HRCA; the incidences of double-hit (DH) MM (DHMM) (=2 HRCAs) and triple-hit (TH) (THMM) (≥3 HRCAs) were 14.3% and 2.9%, respectively. Conclusions Our results provided an up-to-date profile of CAs in Chinese NDMM patients, which revealed that approximately 58% patients might carry at least 1 HRCA, and 17% could experience so-called DHMM or THMM who presumably had the worst outcome.

Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics, memory and neuroimaging features of nonlesional temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE-NL). Methods: Forty-four patients with TLE-NL and 53 patients with unilateral temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (TLE-HS) were recruited from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University from September 1st 2012 to August 31st 2017. The clinical characteristics were systematically analyzed and compared between TLE-NL and TLE-HS. Twenty healthy volunteers were also recruited. Memory assessment and high resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning were completed in the patients and healthy volunteers. Volume and shape of the hippocampus were compared between patients and healthy volunteers. Results: Compared with the TLE-HS, TLE-NL patients showed later seizure onset ((24.3±12.6) vs (15.8±10.3) years; t=3.684, P<0.01), shorter duration of epilepsy ((4.00 (2.00, 8.75)) vs (14.00 (7.50, 22.00)) years; Z=-4.675, P<0.01), less history of febrile convulsions (4.5% (2/44) vs 62.3% (33/53); χ²=32.270, P<0.01) and lower incidence of pharmacoresistant epilepsy (47.7% (21/44) vs 84.9% (45/53); χ²=15.282, P<0.01). However, there were no statistically significant differences between TLE-NL and TLE-HS in sex ratio, family history of epilepsy, lateralization of the epileptogenic zone, presence of aura, seizure types and seizure frequency. TLE-NL patients had normal memory quotient compared to normal controls (105.2±17.4 vs 103.8±16.2; P=1.000), while TLE-HS patients had significant memory impairment compared to normal controls (84.5±20.3 vs 103.8±16.2; P<0.01). Compared to normal controls, TLE-NL patients did not have significant alteration in hippocampal volume and shape, while TLE-HS patients had significant atrophy in the ipsilateral hippocampus ((2 953±481) mm³ vs (4 431±505) mm³; P<0.01), and shape analysis showed significant atrophy in the head and body of the hippocampus. Conclusion TLE-NL has different characteristics compared with TLE-HS, including later seizure onset, shorter duration of epilepsy, less history of febrile convulsions, better response to antiepileptic drugs, and no significant memory impairment and hippocampal atrophy.

Objective:To investigate the antibacterial effect of iodophor on Staphylococcus aureus biofilm (BBF).Methods:Staphylococcus aureus were cultured in vitro and 480 pieces of titanium alloy plates were selected. On the surface of titanium plates, in vitro models of Staphylococcus aureus biofilms were established at days 7, 14, 21 and 28 respectively with 120 pieces of titanium plates at each time points. The biofilms at each time point were assigned to no iodophor immersion (PBS group), 5 g/L iodophor immersion for 5 minutes (5-min group) and 5 g/L iodophor immersion for 10 minutes (10-min group), according to the random number table method. FITC-ConA, propidium iodide (PI) and SYT09 were used to dye Staphylococcus aureus in PBS group. After dyeing, confocal laser scanning microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to observe the morphological structure of bacterial biofilms, and the Colony forming unit (CFU) was counted by the viable count method. In the other two groups, PI and SYT09 were applied to dye Staphylococcus aureus, and then confocal laser scanning microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to observe the changes of biofilms and bacterial viability after iodophor immersion. The antibacterial effect of iodophor was evaluated by the viable count method.Results:After dyeing Staphylococcus aureus with FITC-ConA and PI in PBS group, confocal laser scanning microscopy showed that the extracellular polymers of the bacteria increased gradually with the extension of culture time. The space structure of biofilm was gradually mature, changed significantly at day 21 and became mature at day 28. After staining Staphylococcus aureus with PI and SYT09 in PBS group, confocal laser scanning microscopy showed that the number of bacteria increased, and had a mountain-like shape. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the number of bacterial extracellular polymers increased gradually with the extension of culture time and a structured microenvironment was formed and gradually matured. In 5-min and 10-min groups, all bacteria were killed at days 7 and 14 [0(0, 0)CFU/ml], the antibacterial effect was weakened at 21 days, but the antibacterial effect of iodophor immersion in 10-min group [100 (100, 125)CFU/ml] was better than that in 5-min group [300 (275, 425)CFU/ml] ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in iodophor immersion in 5-min group [500 (375, 700)CFU/ml] and 10-min group [250 (175, 400)CFU/ml] at 28 days ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The maturation of biofilm is the overall maturation of bacteria and bacterial extracellular polymers and the formation of a spatialized microenvironment. Bounded by the 21st day, biofilms are divided into young biofilms and mature biofilms. The main difference between them lies in the maturation of extracellular polymers and microenvironment. For the bacterial biofilm with culture time less than 21 days, the antibacterial effect of the iodophor immersion for 10 min is better than that of 5 min. However, for the bacterial biofilm with culture time greater than 21 days, there is no significant difference in the antibacterial effect of the bacterial biofilm of prolonged iodophor immersion time.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of leuprorelin combined with mifepristone in the treatment of endometriosis. Methods: From September 2014 to September 2016, 168 cases of endometriosis were selected in the research.The patients were divided into the control group and the research group according to the random number table method, with 84 patients in each group.All patients underwent laparoscopic endometrial debridement with fertility preservation.The control group was treated with mifepristone, while the study group was treated with combination of leuprorelin and mifepristone.The incidence of adverse drug reactions during treatment was observed, the levels of serum E2, LH, FSH, EmAb and CA125 were detected before and after treatment, the curative effect after treatment was evaluated, and the recurrence and pregnancy of endometriosis within 12 months after treatment were followed. Results: During the treatment, the incidence rate of adverse drug reactions in the study group(17/84, 20.24%) had no statistically significant difference compared with the control group (13/84, 15.48%) (χ²=0.649, P=0.420). The levels of serum estradiol (E2), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), anti-endometrial antibody (EmAb) and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment (t=17.694, 13.271, 7.943, 4.315, 10.029, 7.952, 14.231, 10.610, 27.953, 22.436, all P<0.001), and the indicators in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group (t=5.217, 3.859, 3.526, 4.337, 6.048, all P<0.001). The total effective rate of the study group (96.43%) was significantly higher than that of the control group (83.33%) (χ²=7.919, P=0.005). Within 12 months after treatment, the recurrence rate of endometriosis in the study group (2.38%) was significantly lower than that of the control group (15.48%), while the rate of pregnancy (48.81%) was significantly higher than that of the control group(27.38%), there were statistically significant differences between the two groups (χ²=8.858, 8.178; P=0.003, 0.004). Conclusion Compared with leuprorelin treatment alone, leuprorelin combined with mifepristone can significantly reduce the serum levels of E2, LH, FSH, EmAb and CA125 in patients with endometriosis, and improve the overall treatment of endometriosis, reduce recurrence, promote pregnancy, and has high safety.

Objective: To detect the effect and regulatory mechanism of human ether à go-go related gene 1 (Herg 1) knockdown on the proliferation and invasion of osteosarcoma (OS). Methods: We constructed a recombinant adenovirus vector (Ad5-Herg1-shRNA) expressing short hair RNA (shRNA) against Herg1 and tested the knockdown efficiency. Then, the effects of Herg 1 knockdown on the proliferation, growth and invasion of osteosarcoma were measured by using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), wound healing assay, Transwell assay and xenograft model of nude mice, respectively. Tandem affinity purification, mass spectrometry and dual luciferase reporter assay were used to find out the molecules interacted with Herg1. Western blot was used to detect the expressions of large tumor suppressor gene (LATS1), p-LATS1, Yes-associated protein (YAP) and p-YAP in cells after infection of Ad5-Herg1-shRNA. Results: Compared to Ad5-control-shRNA, Ad5-Herg1-shRNA dramatically inhibited the expression of Herg1 in OS cells. The result of CCK8 array demonstrated that 143B cell vitalities of Ad5-Herg1-shRNA1 and Ad5-Herg1-shRNA2 group were (65.47±3.90)% and (79.90±1.52)%, significantly lower than (100.00±6.14)% of Ad5-control-shRNA group. Meanwhile, U2OS cell vitality of Ad5-Herg1-shRNA1 and Ad5-Herg1-shRNA2 group were (69.69±1.36)% and (76.72±2.75)%, significantly lower than (100.00±3.01)% of Ad5-control-shRNA group (all P<0.001). The results of wound healing array showed that 143B cell migration rates of Ad5-Herg1-shRNA1 and Ad5-Herg1-shRNA2 group were (33.03±2.88)% and (36.47±4.16)%, significantly lower than (97.78±2.28)% of Ad5-control-shRNA group. Meanwhile, U2OS cell migration rates of Ad5-Herg1-shRNA1 and Ad5-Herg1-shRNA2 group were (68.07±0.90)% and (73.97±1.25)%, significantly lower than (96.50±1.12)% of Ad5-control-shRNA group (all P<0.001). The results of Transwell showed that 143B cell invasion numbers of Ad5-Herg1-shRNA1 and Ad5-Herg1-shRNA2 group were 36.50±12.15 and 44.83±7.62, significantly lower than 195.33±19.68 of Ad5-control-shRNA group. Meanwhile, U2OS cell migration rates of Ad5-Herg1-shRNA1 and Ad5-Herg1-shRNA2 group were 21.83±7.99 and 22.85±7.08, significantly lower than 83.33±12.36 of Ad5-control-shRNA group (all P<0.001). The results of xenograft model of OS showed that the tumor volume and weight of Ad5-Herg1-shRNA group were significantly smaller than of Ad5-control-shRNA group after 14 days and 5 weeks of inoculation, respectively (P<0.001). Moreover, knockdown of Herg1 inhibited the metastasis of OS cells. In mechanism, Herg1 protein interacted with NF2 protein. Knockdown of Herg1 significantly suppressed the expression levels of LATS1 and YAP protein, and promoted the phosphorylation of LATS1 and YAP in OS cells (all P<0.001). Conclusion Our findings suggest that Herg1 participates in the proliferation and motility of OS cells and may serve as a potential therapeutic target for osteosarcoma patients.

OBJECTIVE： To systematically evaluate the mode of personnel training in pharmacy intravenous admixture services （PIVAS） in China， and to provide reference for the comprehensive training of pharmacist in PIVAS in China. METHODS： PubMed， Embase， Cochrane Library， CBM， CJFD， VIP and Wanfang database were searched from the establishment of database to Sept. 2018. Studies which evaluated the training mode of PIVAS in China were included， and the results were presented by descriptive analysis in respects of training objects， training objectives， contents and evaluation indicators. RESULTS： A total of 5 literatures were included. The research types were 2 before-after control studies， 2 experience sharing studies and 1 review. 3 subjects were pharmacists， 1 subject was clinical pharmacists， and 1 subject was nurses. The training objectives were comprehensive quality training， clinical rational drug use level， pharmacy personnel training path and professional service ability. The specific training content of the training mode varied greatly， including professional theoretical knowledge， practical operation ability， pre-job training， professional psychological quality， professional ethics and laws and regulations， continuing education learning ability， career development planning and teaching ability. There were great differences in the evaluation indicators of training effectiveness， which were mainly reflected in team execution motivation and creativity， discoveny rate of unreasonable doctor’s advice， work efficiency， service quality， drug treatment level and satisfaction of PIVAS， etc. CONCLUSIONS： There are certain differences in the training objectives， training targets， specific contents and evaluation indicators of the PIVAS pharmacist training model in China. It is necessary to use the evidence- based method to construct the training mode for PIVAS pharmacist to provide support for clinical intravenous drug use.

OBJECTIVE： To systematically evaluate the status quo of cost estimation in pharmacy intravenous admixture services （PIVAS）， and to provide cost basis for the construction of PIVAS in China. METHODS： Retrieved from PubMed， Embase， Cochrane library， CBM， CNKI， CSJD and Wanfang database from database establishment to Jan. 2019， the studies about the status quo of cost estimation in PIVAS of China were included. The descriptive analysis was conducted for content and method of cost estimation， infection to hospital. RESULTS： A total of 17 literatures were included， involving 8 before and after control studies， 6 experience sharing studies and 3 reviews. Existing reports showed that the estimation contents and methods of PIVAS cost were roughly the same. The cost included manpower， medical and health materials， fixed asset purchase， depreciation， repair costs， medicine cost and indirect costs. At the same time， the infection to hospital were reported， such as in manpower adopting， formulating detailed management measures and systems， concurrent allocation of the same kind of drugs， shortening infusion preparation and replacement time， in order to save manpower cost. CONCLUSIONS： PIVAS cost calculation method is roughly the same in some hospitals， but there is no uniform standard. It is necessary to further improve the PIVAS cost measurement standard and provide a basis for the construction and development of PIVAS in China.
