OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of primary pulmonary lymphoma (PPL). METHODS: The clinical data of 17 patients with PPL admitted to Gansu Provincial Hospital from January 2013 to June 2023 were collected, and their clinical characteristics and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed and summarized. RESULTS: The median age of the 17 patients was 56 (29-73) years old. There were 8 males and 9 females. According to Ann Arbor staging system, there were 9 patients with stage I-II and 8 patients with stage III-IV. There were 14 patients with IPI score of 0-2 and 3 patients with IPI score of 3-4. All 17 patients had symptoms at the initial diagnosis, most of the first symptoms were cough, and 6 patients had B symptoms.Among the 17 patients, there were 8 cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), 5 cases of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, 1 case of gray zone lymphoma (GZL), and 3 cases of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). 15 patients received chemotherapy, of which 3 cases received autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(ASCT) and 3 cases received radiotherapy; 2 patients did not receive treatment. The median number of chemotherapy courses was 6(2-8). The short-term efficacy was evaluated, 12 patients achieved complete remission (CR) and 3 patients achieved partial remission (PR). The age, pathological subtype, sex, Ann Arbor stage, β₂-microglobulin(β₂-MG) level, lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) level were not correlated with CR rate (P >0.05), while IPI score was correlated with recent CR rate (P < 0.05 ). The median follow-up time was 31(2-102) months. One of the 12 CR patients died of COVID-19, and the rest survived. Among the 3 patients who did not reach CR, 1 died after disease progression, while the other 2 survived. One of the 2 untreated patients died one year after diagnosis. Both the median progression-free survival (PFS) time and overall survival (OS) time of the 17 patients were both 31 (2-102) months. CONCLUSION The incidence of PPL is low, and the disease has no specific clinical manifestations, which is easily missed and misdiagnosed. The pathological subtypes are mainly MALT lymphoma and DLBCL, and the treatment is mainly combined chemotherapy. The IPI score is related to the treatment efficacy.

The incidence of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) continues to rise, and there are no effective drugs to treat it. The immune microenvironment plays an important role in the development of ICC and is currently a research hotspot. Icaritin (ICA) is an innovative traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. It is considered to have potential immunoregulatory and anti-tumor effects, which is potentially consistent with the understanding of "Fuzheng" in the treatment of tumor in traditional Chinese medicine. However, whether ICA can be used to treat ICC has not been reported. Therefore, in this study, sgp19/kRas, an in situ ICC mouse model with intact immune system, was selected to evaluate the efficacy of ICA in the treatment of ICC in vivo for the first time, and the effects of ICA on the tumor immune microenvironment of ICC mice were analyzed by flow cytometry. This experiment was approved by the Experimental Animal Ethics Committee of Capital Medical University (approval number: AEEI-2023-138). In this study, sgp19/kRas ICC mouse model was treated with oral gavage of 100 mg·kg^-1 ICA. We found that ICA significantly inhibited tumor growth and tumor cell proliferation in the sgp19/kRas ICC mouse model after 3 weeks of treatment. Flow cytometry analysis indicated that ICA treatment markedly reduced the proportion of M2 macrophages and increased the number of CD3⁺CD4⁺ T cells. In vitro experiments demonstrated that ICA promoted macrophage polarization towards the M1 phenotype while inhibiting polarization towards the M2 phenotype. Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis suggested that ICA enhanced Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) expression, influencing macrophage nitric oxide metabolism synthesis pathways and receptor-related activities, thereby regulating macrophage polarization. In summary, this study demonstrates that ICA treatment significantly delays tumor progression in sgp19/kRas ICC mouse models. Mechanistically, ICA may achieve its anti-ICC effects by upregulating TLR9 receptor expression levels, promoting macrophage polarization towards the M1 phenotype, and altering the tumor immune microenvironment.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the potential relationship between urinary metals copper (Cu), arsenic (As), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), iron (Fe), lead (Pb) and manganese (Mn) and grip strength. Methods We used linear regression models, quantile g-computation and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) to assess the relationship between metals and grip strength.Results In the multimetal linear regression, Cu (β=-2.119), As (β=-1.318), Sr (β=-2.480), Ba (β=0.781), Fe (β= 1.130) and Mn (β=-0.404) were significantly correlated with grip strength (P < 0.05). The results of the quantile g-computation showed that the risk of occurrence of grip strength reduction was -1.007 (95％ confidence interval:-1.362, -0.652; P < 0.001) when each quartile of the mixture of the seven metals was increased. Bayesian kernel function regression model analysis showed that mixtures of the seven metals had a negative overall effect on grip strength, with Cu, As and Sr being negatively associated with grip strength levels. In the total population, potential interactions were observed between As and Mn and between Cu and Mn (Pinteractions of 0.003 and 0.018, respectively).Conclusion In summary, this study suggests that combined exposure to metal mixtures is negatively associated with grip strength. Cu, Sr and As were negatively correlated with grip strength levels, and there were potential interactions between As and Mn and between Cu and Mn.

Objective To investigate the vaccination status and vaccination willingness of novel coronavirus in HIV/AIDS population in Yunnan.Methods From October 2021 to June 2022,a questionnaire survey was conducted among 2180 HIV/AIDS patients in Kunming,Qujing,Yuxi,Zhaotong,Puer,Baoshan,Lincang,Honghe,Wenshan,Xishuangbanna,Dali,Dehong and Nujiang prefectures.The questionnaire included age,sex,education,nationality,education level,vaccination,adverse reactions within 7 days after the vaccination,safety of COVID-19 vaccine,awareness of effectiveness,vaccination willingness and so on.Results Among the subjects,2109 completed 3 injections,accounting for 96.74%,and 71 were not vaccinated,accounting for 3.26% .Within 7 days of inoculation,local adverse reactions occurred in 116 cases,accounting for 5.50%,and systemic adverse reactions occurred in 56 cases,accounting for 2.66% .Injection site pain,fatigue and muscle pain accounted for the highest proportion of adverse symptoms in different sex,age and the Han nationality,while the proportion of minority adverse reactions was very low,and there was no difference among the different sex and age(P>0.05).The main reasons for the reluctance of HIV/AIDS population to be vaccinated were(recommended by doctors)that HIV/AIDS patients could not be vaccinated(67.61%)and may have serious adverse reactions after the vaccination(19.72%).The factors affecting the vaccination were found by logistic regression analysis,whether they were worried about infecting novel coronavirus(OR = 0.121,95% CI = 0.083～0.640,P<0.001)and how much they knew about COVID-19 vaccine(OR = 28.932,95% CI = 15.469～54.115,P<0.001),safety of vaccination(OR = 13.953,95% CI = 4.819～40.404,P<0.001)and belief in the preventive effect of vaccine(OR = 14.017,95% CI = 4.752～41.348,P<0.001)were significant factors affecting vaccination.Among the 13 prefectures and cities,Dehong(20),Zhaotong(21)and Lincang(14)had the largest number of unvaccinated people.Conclusion After the mass vaccination,the rate of adverse reaction in HIV/AIDS population is low,the symptoms are mild,the correct and scientific advice and guidance from doctors and the full understanding of the harmfulness of the disease,the safety,prevention and effectiveness of the vaccine are the key to complete vaccination and put an end to vaccine hesitancy.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and influencing factors of omadacycline(OMC)in the treat-ment of patients with infectious diseases.Methods Data about hospitalized patients who received OMC monothera-py or combination therapy at Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2022 to December 2023 were analyzed retrospectively.The influencing factors for failure of OMC treatment was analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results A total of 160 patients were included in analysis,with an overall effective treatment rate of 69.4％(n=111).After treatment with OMC,patients in effective group was observed that body temperature improved([36.83±0.52]℃ vs[37.85±0.92]℃,P＜0.001),white blood cell count([7.78±4.07]× 109/L vs[10.06±6.49]× 109/L,P＜0.001),procalcitonin([0.63±1.19]ng/mL vs[4.43±10.14]ng/mL,P=0.001),C-reactive protein([35.16±37.82]mg/L vs[105.08±99.47]mg/L,P＜0.001),and aspartate aminotransferase([50.50±40.04]U/L vs[77.17±91.43]U/L,P=0.004)all decreased signifi-cantly.Only one patient had adverse reactions such as diarrhea,but treatment was not interrupted.Univariate ana-lysis showed that patients in failure treatment group had a higher acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ)score(17.0[9.5-22.0]vs 12.0[9.0-19.0],P=0.046)and sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA)score(7.0[4.5-10.0]vs 4.0[2.0-9.0],P=0.019).Multivariate analysis showed that end-stage liver disease(OR=77.691,95％CI:5.448-1 107.880,P=0.001),mechanical ventilation(OR=6.686,95％CI:1.628-27.452,P=0.008)and the combination treatment of vancomycin(OR=6.432,95％CI:1.891-21.874,P=0.003)were risk factors for the failure of OMC treatment,while the course of OMC treatment(OR=0.905,95％CI:0.825-0.994,P=0.037)was a protective factor for the effective treatment.Conclusion OMC can be used as an alternative therapy for refractory severe infection,with fewer adverse reaction.End-stage liver disease,mechanical ventilation and combination treatment of vancomycin are risk factors for failure of OMC treatment in in-fected patients.Adequate OMC treatment course can improve patients'clinical outcome,large-scale case studies are needed to confirm the initial conclusion.

Objective To describe the changing trend and related factors of prevalence rates of healthcare-associa-ted infection(HAI)in a tertiary hospital in the past 10 years,and analyze the influencing factors for HAI.Methods A cross-sectional survey on HAI was conducted for 10 consecutive years from 2013 to 2022(one day was selected as the survey day each year),data were collected.The distribution and related factors of prevalence rates of HAI were analyzed by trend-x2 test and Pearson correlation coefficient.Multivariate logistic regression and multilayer percep-tron(MLP)models were constructed to analyze the independent effect and significance of factors.Results From 2013 to 2022,the prevalence rates of HAI ranged from 4.66％to 8.07％in this hospital,showing a linear upward trend.The proportions of ICU patients and utilization rate of central venous catheters within 2 days before the sur-vey showed linear upward trends,while the proportion of patients with urinary catheters within 2 days before the survey and proportion of patients undergoing surgery within 30 days before the survey decreased.The MLP model revealed that the top 3 important factors for HAI were length of hospital stay＞10 days,admission in ICU,and in-dwelling central venous catheters within 2 days before the survey.Multivariate logistic regression model indicated that length of hospital stay＞10 days,indwelling central venous catheters or urinary catheters within 2 days before the survey,surgery within 30 days before the survey,and admission in ICU were independent influencing factors for HAI.Conclusion The incidence of HAI in this hospital presents a linear increase in recent 10 years,the causes should be further analyzed and the direction of intervention should be determined through targeted surveillance.Adopting trend test statistical analysis method,logistic regression,MLP multi-factor model can further explore the data value of HAI prevalence survey.

Cases of human infection with H7 subtype avian influenza virus(AIV)combined with five NA subtypes(N2,N3,N4,N7,and N9)have been reported.This study was aimed at establishing a method for simultaneous detection and dif-ferential diagnosis of H7 and five NA subtypes of AIV.Seven pairs of specific primers were designed according to the conserved sequences of the HA gene of H7 subtype AIV,the NA gene of five NA AIV subtypes,and the M gene of all AIV subtypes.A high-throughput GeXP typing method was established for simultaneous detection of the H7 subtype and the five NA subtypes of AIV by using GeXP multiple gene expression and capillary electrophoresis analysis technology.The specificity and sensitivity of the method were determined,and clinical samples were tested.The specificity results indicated that this method was able to simultaneously detect seven target genes in a single tube;each pair of specific primers was able to detect the corresponding AIV subtype,and the universal detection primers were able to detect all subtypes of AIV,with no cross-reaction with other common avian disease pathogens.Sensitivity results demonstrated that this method was able to simultaneously detect seven target genes with a threshold detection limit was 100 copies/μL.The detection results for 150 clinical samples were consistent with those of viral isolation and identification.The high-throughput GeXP method for simultaneous differential diagnosis of the H7 subtype and five subtypes of AIV established in this study has advantages of high specificity,high sensitivity,rapidity,and simplicity,thus providing a new detection method for the effective prevention and control of AIV.

The prognosis of patients with peritoneal metastasis from colorectal cancer is poor. At present, the comprehensive treatment system based on cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has significantly improved the survival of these patients. However, CRS and HIPEC have strict indications, high procedural difficulty, and high morbidity and mortality. If CRS+HIPEC is performed in an inexperienced center, overall survival and quality of life of patients may bo compromised. The establishment of specialized diagnosis and treatment centers can provide a guarantee for standardized clinical diagnosis and treatment. In this review, we first introduced the necessity of establishing a colorectal cancer peritoneal metastasis treatment center and the construction situation of the diagnosis and treatment center for peritoneal surface malignancies at home and abroad. Then we focused on introducing our construction experience of the colorectal peritoneal metastasis treatment center, and emphasized that the construction of the center must be done well in two aspects: firstly, the clinical optimization should be realized and the specialization of the whole workflow should be strengthened; secondly, we should ensure the quality of patient care and the rights, well-being and health of every patient.
