Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has become an indispensable weapon against high-risk resectable cancers, which benefits from tumor downstaging. However, the utility of chemotherapeutics alone as a neoadjuvant agent is incapable of generating durable therapeutic benefits to prevent postsurgical tumor metastasis and recurrence. Herein, a tactical nanomissile (TALE), equipped with a guidance system (PD-L1 monoclonal antibody), ammunition (mitoxantrone, Mit), and projectile bodies (tertiary amines modified azobenzene derivatives), is designed as a neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy setting, which aims at targeting tumor cells, and fast-releasing Mit owing to the intracellular azoreductase, thereby inducing immunogenic tumor cells death, and forming an in situ tumor vaccine containing damage-associated molecular patterns and multiple tumor antigen epitopes to mobilize the immune system. The formed in situ tumor vaccine can recruit and activate antigen-presenting cells, and ultimately increase the infiltration of CD8+ T cells while reversing the immunosuppression microenvironment. Moreover, this approach provokes a robust systemic immune response and immunological memory, as evidenced by preventing 83.3% of mice from postsurgical metastasis or recurrence in the B16-F10 tumor mouse model. Collectively, our results highlight the potential of TALE as a neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy paradigm that can not only debulk tumors but generate a long-term immunosurveillance to maximize the durable benefits of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Objective:To evaluate the medical service quality of psychiatric hospitals in Beijing based on diagnostic related group (DRG), analyze the evaluation effect, for refences to constructe a DRG performance evaluation system suitable for psychiatric hospitals.Methods:This study extracted data such as the number of DRG groups, etc. of hospitalized patients in 14 tertiary and secondary psychiatric hospitals in Beijing from 2018 to 2020 from the Beijing inpatient medical performance evaluation platform, and analyzed data on DRG performance evaluation indicators, as well as the average length of hospital stay and average cost of DRG enrolled cases. All data were analyzed using descriptive research methods, and inter group comparisons were conducted using the Mann Whitney U-test. Results:From 2018 to 2020, the average number of DRG groups in tertiary hospitals (28) was higher than that in secondary hospitals (10) ( P<0.05), and the average CMI values of both were the same(1.79); The average cost consumption index (1.15) of tertiary hospitals was higher than that of secondary hospitals (0.65) ( P<0.05), while the average time consumption index (1.11) was slightly lower than that of secondary hospitals (1.30); The mortality rate of the low-risk group in tertiary hospitals (0.01%) was generally lower than that in secondary hospitals (0.88%), and the average percentage of DRG admitted inpatients (82.8%) was significantly higher than that in secondary hospitals (27.3%) ( P>0.05). The average length of stay and cost per case for DRG enrolled inpatients in tertiary and secondary hospitals were lower than the overall hospital discharge cases ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The number of DRG groups, CMI value, and low-risk mortality rate could be used for evaluating the medical service capacity and safety of psychiatric hospitals, but the cost and time consumption index could not objectively reflect the efficiency of hospital medical services. DRG performance evaluation indicators are more suitable for evaluating short-term hospitalization of psychiatric patients. The proportion of DRG enrolled cases might be a potential indicator for evaluating the service quality of psychiatric hospitals.

ObjectiveTo compare and evaluate the improvement degree of spermatogenic dysfunction mice at different recovery periods after cyclophosphamide modeling. MethodsForty-eight male ICR mice aged 4-5 weeks with the body weight of approximately 18-20 g were randomly divided into three control groups and three model groups, with 8 mice in each group. Each mouse of three model groups was intraperitoneally injected with 60 mg/kg cyclophosphamide continuously from the 1st to 7th day of the experiment, while each mouse of three control groups was intraperitoneally injected with the corresponding volume of normal saline. Then these mice were continued to be fed for another 7, 14 and 21 days after cyclophosphamide injection, respectively. A corresponding control group was set for each model group. The mice in each group were sacrificed after blood collection through orbital veins at corresponding time points. Testis, epididymis and seminal vesicle were taken and weighed, and their reproductive organ indexes were calculated. Histopathological changes of testis and epididymis were compared after HE staining.Sperm quality analysis was used to determine sperm-related indexes. Serum reproductive hormone content, testicular oxidative stress level and testicular signature enzyme activity were detected by ELISA and related kits.Results Compared with the control group, on the 7th, 14th and 21st day after cyclophosphamide treatment, the testicular index of mice in the model group decreased significantly (P<0.01). The epididymis index decreased significantly on the 7th and 14th day, and the seminal vesicle index decreased obviously on the 7th and 21st day (P<0.05). And the histopathological damage of testis and epididymis of the model group gradually alleviated over time. On the 7th and 14th day after cyclophosphamide treatment, the sperm count of the model group declined remarkably (P<0.01), the serum testosterone (T) level reduced (P<0.05), the malonaldehyde (MDA) content of testis increased significantly (P<0.01), the content of reduced glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) decreased obviously (P<0.05),the lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) activity of testis reduced obviously (P<0.05), the gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT) activity increased significantly (P<0.05), the latter two of which are important testicular signature enzymes. Therein on the 7th day after cyclophosphamide treatment, the sperm motility decreased significantly (P<0.001), the rate of sperm malformation increased obviously (P<0.05), the serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) increased notably (P<0.01). Nevertheless on the 21st day after cyclophosphamide treatment, the sperm-related indexes, the content of serum reproductive hormone, the level of testicular oxidative stress and the activity of testicular signature enzyme did not change significantly (P>0.05). ConclusionThe reproductive toxicity in mice was more apparent on the 7th day after intraperitoneal injection with 60 mg/kg cyclophosphamide for seven days, at which time the more desirable spermatogenic dysfunction model of mice could be established. However, with the prolongation of the recovery period, the indexes of spermatogenic dysfunction in mice gradually recovered and approached the normal level on the 21st day after cyclophosphamide treatment.

Objective:intrahepatic portocaval shunt (TIPS) in the treatment of hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 27 patients with HSOS who were treated with TIPS in our center from July 2018 to July 2020. The changes of portal vein pressure (PVP), portal vein pressure gradient (PPG) and liver function were observed, so as to evaluate the efficacy. Paired t test was adopted to evaluate the quantitative parameters, while χ2 test was used to analyze qualitative parameters, with P < 0.05 as statistical difference. Results:PVP decreased from (4.41 ± 0.18) kPa before shunt to (2.69 ± 0.11) kPa after shunt ( t = 82.41, P < 0.001), PPG decreased from (3.23 ± 0.18) kPa before shunt to (1.46 ± 0.23) kPa after shunt ( t = 32.41, P < 0.001). The liver function improved significantly after operation. After 24 months of follow-up, 3 patients developed stent restenosis and recanalized after balloon dilation. Three patients developed hepatic encephalopathy, which was improved after drug treatment. One patient underwent liver transplantation due to liver failure. Conclusion:TIPS is effective in the treatment of HSOS in the short and medium term, and can provide time for liver transplantation patients to wait for liver source.

Objective:To explore the effect of intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) of the cerebellum on the excitability of the M1 zone in the bilateral motor cortex and the duration of any effect.Methods:Twenty healthy youths were randomly assigned to a left or a right cerebellum iTBS group, each of 10. The resting motor threshold and motor evoked potential (MEP) of the motor cortex were determined before giving 600 pulses of iTBS. Then MEP was measured at the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, 30th, 35th and 40th minute after the intervention ended. Any changes in MEP amplitude were also analyzed.Results:①The average MEP amplitude in the right motor cortex had increased significantly in the left cerebellum iTBS group from the 5th to the 15th minute. The increase lasted at least 10 minutes. Then it had returned to the baseline value at the 35th minute. ②The MEP amplitude in the left motor cortex decreased slightly after iTBS of the left cerebellum began, but there were no significant changes. ③The MEP amplitude in the left motor cortex had a tendency to decrease after iTBS was administered to the right cerebellum, but that change too was not significant. ④The MEP amplitude of the right motor cortex decreased significantly only for the first 30 minutes.Conclusions:iTBS of the cerebellum can increase the excitability of the contralateral motor cortex. The effect can last 25 minutes. It can also decrease the excitability of the ipsilateral motor cortex for 30 minutes.

Objective:
To explore the skin condition and histological changes after face lift based on extended subcutaneous and sub-SMAS undermining and multiple accurate plication of SMAS system.
Methods:
Eighteen patients that underwent face lift were enrolled according to the inclusion and exclusion criterion. Objective, subjective and histological evaluations were performed to study the skin changes.
Results:
Nine patients completed the study and skin condition improved significantly after face lift from the objective and subjective results. Histological evaluation revealed that epidermal thickness increased along with dermal collagen content. Collagen and elastic fibers were more condensed after surgery than before, suggesting the dermal regeneration after face lift.
Conclusions
Skin regeneration after face lift can help maintain the postoperative result. Extensive subcutaneous dissection along with removal of lax skin as much as possible are the key points of face lift.

To establish an animal model of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) that would replicate the pathological process of ACLF in humans, rats were administered porcine serum (PS) for 11 weeks. Liver fibrosis was determined by pathological and biochemical assessments. The animals then were injected with d-galactosamine (d-gal) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The survival times of animals with cirrhosis and ACLF were determined over 48 h. Other animals were killed at 0, 4, 8 and 12 h after administration of d-gal/LPS. Liver injury was assessed by histopathological analysis and biochemical indices, and apoptosis was detected by Western blot and TUNEL analysis. After PS administration for 11 weeks the serum levels of hyaluronic acid and N-procollagen type III peptide increased significantly, and serious fibrosis and cirrhosis was observed at weeks 10 and 11. Cirrhotic rats were injected with d-gal/LPS to induced ACLF; the rate of mortality over 48 h was 80%. ALT and AST levels increased markedly at 4 h, but decreased significantly at 8 and 12 h post-treatment. The total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, and total bile acids levels increased markedly at 8 and 12 h. Clotting times, TNF-and IL-6 levels increased significantly, except for 12 h post-treatment. Apoptosis, inflammation and necrosis were elevated as determined by hematoxylin-eosin staining and TUNEL assays. BCL-2 levels decreased significantly, While BAX levels increased significantly. Cytochromeexpression peaked at 8 h post-d-gal/LPS treatment. In conclusion, an ACLF model induced by PS and d-gal/LPS was established and the underlying mechanisms of ACLF development were explored.
