Objective: To assess the nutritional supply status of school meals for primary and secondary school students in Henan Province, so as to provide a basis for scientific guidance of school meals. Methods: During 2021-2023, 115 lunch and dinner samples were collected from 25 primary and secondary schools in Zhoukou, Anyang and Luoyang of Henan Province by a direct selection method, and 13 nutrients were determined for each sample. The nutrient supply was evaluated based on Nutrition Guidelines of School Meals and Reference Intake of Dietary Nutrients for Chinese Residents (2023 Edition). Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the differences of nutritional supply between urban and rural schools. Results: The median values for energy (709.77 kcal,1 kcal=4.18 kJ), fat energy supply ratio (0.27) and carbohydrate energy supply ratio (0.55) in the 66 lunches and dinners from primary school were within the recommended range. The supply of protein (28.39 g) and sodium (1 464.59 mg) was excessive. The median values of zinc (2.62 mg) and dietary fiber (5.19 g) were lower than the reference values. No statistically significant differences were observed in the supply of 13 nutrients between urban and rural primary schools( U = 427.00 -633.00, P > 0.05 ). Among 49 samples from secondary schools, the median value of energy supply (930.02 kcal), carbohydrate energy ratio ( 0.54 ) and fat energy supply ratio(0.25) were within the recommended range; and the median values of protein (38.82 g) and sodium (2 556.80 mg) were higher than the standard; and the median values of calcium (250.32 mg) and vitamin B1 (0.16 mg) were lower than the standard. Additionally, the differences in the level of vitamin B2 ( U =372.00) and zinc ( U =375.00) between the urban and rural secondary schools were statistically significant ( P <0.05). Conclusion Nutrient supply of primary and secondary school meals in three cities of Henan Province is inadequate and imbalanced, and the recipe need to be further optimized and improved.

Objective:To explore the application effect of ultrasound-guided pectoralis Ⅱ(PECS-Ⅱ)blocks anesthesia in benign tumor resection of breast.Methods:A total of 60 female patients who underwent benign tumor resection of breast were selected from Maternity and Child Care Center of Qinhuangdao from January 2021 to December 2021,and they were divided into the thoracic nerve block group(nerve block group)and local infiltration anesthesia group(local anesthesia group)according to the random number table method.The nerve block group used ultrasound-guided PECS-Ⅱ anesthesia,and the local anesthesia group used local infiltration anesthesia for tumor.The hemodynamic indicators,postoperative visual analogue score,first intervention time of postoperative analgesic drugs,and the use of sufentanil within 24 hours after surgery were compared and analyzed between the two groups of patients.Results:The average operation time of the nerve block group was(127.32±34.56)min,and the difference of that between the nerve block group and local anesthesia group(128.11±33.84)min was no statistically significant(P>0.05).The differences of the heart rate(HR)and mean arterial pressure(MAP)before anesthesia(T0)between two groups of patients were not statistically significant(P>0.05).The HR and MAP levels at the time of skin incision(T1),at the 0.5 h after the surgery was conducted(T2)and the time of completing surgery(T3)in nerve block group were significantly lower than those of the local anesthesia group,respectively.The differences were statistically significant(tHR=5.709,5.836,5.662,tMAP=3.501,3.223,3.128,P<0.05),respectively.Compared with the local anesthesia group,the pain level at the same time point in the nerve block group was significantly reduced,and the difference was statistically significant(t=4.501,6.575,8.197,8.262,P<0.05),respectively.The intervention time of analgesic medication at the first time of the nerve block group was significantly later than that of the local anesthesia group,and the consumption of sufentanil within 24 hours after surgery of the nerve block group was also significantly reduced,and the differences of them were statistically significant(t=13.741,9.482,P<0.05),respectively.Conclusion:Ultrasound-guided PECS-Ⅱ can effectively relieve postoperatively early pain in patients with benign tumors of breast,and delay the intervention time of postoperative analgesic medication,and reduce the intake amount of opioid drugs.

With the progress of comprehensive treatment of breast cancer, the surgical treatment of axillary lymph nodes presents a degraded treatment mode under the guidance of evidence-based medicine. The indications and contraindications of sentinel lymph node biopsy for early breast cancer have been very clear, but there are still many specific problems in clinical practice that surgeons are concerned about. This article discusses the recently published research on sentinel lymph node biopsy in order to draw the attention of surgical colleagues to the new hot issues of sentinel lymph node biopsy in early breast cancer, and promote standardized surgery and the promotion of new treatment concepts.

The National Health Commission of the People′s Republic of China has formulated the Quality Control Indexes for Oncology (2023 edition), with the objective of improving medical quality scientifically, refined and standardized. Among these indexes, the rate of pretreatment clinical TNM staging and the coincidence rate of evaluation of pretreatment TNM staging lay national standards for patients to formulate rational and targeted treatment strategies. This article reviewed the literature and referred to Chinese Medical Association Clinical Practice Guide for Breast Surgery, and presented recommendations for the hot topics of breast surgery, such as pathological sampling of the breast specimen, sentinel lymph node biopsy for early-stage breast cancer, breast conserving surgery, axillary lymph node dissection, breast reconstruction surgery, endoscopic-assisted breast surgery, the principles of surgical treatment for metastatic breast cancer, neoadjuvant treatment for advanced disease, and surgical grade of breast surgery, which have been widely concerned in recent years, to help improve homogenization of breast cancer treatment in China.

BACKGROUND: In light of the significant clinical benefits of antibody-drug conjugates in clinical trials, the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-low category in breast cancers has gained increasing attention. Therefore, we studied the clinicopathological characteristics of Chinese patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive/HER2-low early-stage breast cancer and developed a recurrence risk prediction model. METHODS: Female patients with HR-positive/HER2-low early-stage breast cancer treated in 29 hospitals of the Chinese Society of Breast Surgery (CSBrS) from Jan 2015 to Dec 2016 were enrolled. Their clinicopathological data and prognostic information were collected, and machine learning methods were used to analyze the prognostic factors. RESULTS: In total, 25,096 patients were diagnosed with breast cancer in 29 hospitals of CSBrS from Jan 2015 to Dec 2016, and clinicopathological data for 6486 patients with HER2-low early-stage breast cancer were collected. Among them, 5629 patients (86.79%) were HR-positive. The median follow-up time was 57 months (4, 76 months); the 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate was 92.7%, and the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 97.7%. In total, 412 cases (7.31%) of metastasis were observed, and 124 (2.20%) patients died. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that T stage, N stage, lymphovascular thrombosis, Ki-67 index, and prognostic stage were associated with recurrence and metastasis ( P <0.05). A recurrence risk prediction model was established using the random forest method and exhibited a sensitivity of 81.1%, specificity of 71.7%, positive predictive value of 74.1%, and negative predictive value of 79.2%. CONCLUSION: Most of patients with HER2-low early-stage breast cancer were HR-positive, and patients had favorable outcome; tumor N stage, lymphovascular thrombosis, Ki-67 index, and tumor prognostic stage were prognostic factors. The HR-positive/HER2-low early-stage breast cancer recurrence prediction model established based on the random forest method has a good reference value for predicting 5-year recurrence events.

Neoadjuvant therapy has been continuously improved the outcomes of early breast cancer patients, and more patients with positive axillary lymph node achieve complete pathological responds. The timing of sentinel lymph node biopsy for patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy has also had a new strategy, especially for the patients with clinical positive axillary lymph node before treatment and become clinical negative after neoadjuvant therapy, sentinel lymph node biopsy after neoadjuvant therapy has gradually become a standard axillary surgery procedure. However, there are still many differences in clinical practice domestic in China and abroad. This article discussed the timing of sentinel lymph node biopsy in patients with early breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant therapy, in order to draw the attention of domestic surgical colleagues to this issue and promote standardized surgery and multidisciplinary cooperation.

BACKGROUND: Pertuzumab has been approved for application in China by the National Medical Products Administration, and both national and international guidelines make recommendations for the use of neoadjuvant treatment with trastuzumab or trastuzumab + pertuzumab plus chemotherapy regimens for patients with indications. The goal of this study was to investigate the short-term clinical efficacy of the neoadjuvant therapies trastuzumab and trastuzumab+pertuzumab for patients with early human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer in China. METHODS: A real-world study was conducted using the clinicopathological data of patients with early HER2-positive breast cancer who were admitted to the member hospitals of the Chinese Society of Breast Surgery, Chinese Surgical Society of Chinese Medical Association between March 2019 and December 2020. This study analyzed the efficacy and tolerance of trastuzumab+chemotherapy and trastuzumab+pertuzumab+chemotherapy in patients with early HER2-positive breast cancer. The Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 was adopted to evaluate clinical efficacy. The pathological efficacy was evaluated using the MillerPayne grade. The Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (version 5.0) was adopted to evaluate adverse events (AEs). The propensity scores were subjected to propensity score matching using the R language (1:1 matching with a maximum allowable difference of 0.05 between the two groups). Efficacy was compared using the chi-square test, and correlation analysis was performed using linear regression. RESULTS: A total of 1032 patients with early HER2-positive breast cancer met the enrollment criteria and were included in this study. Among these patients, 472 received neoadjuvant trastuzumab+chemotherapy (the trastuzumab group), and 560 received neoadjuvant trastuzumab+pertuzumab+chemotherapy (the trastuzumab+pertuzumab group). The overall pathologic complete response (pCR) rate was 47.2% (487/1032), while the pCR rates of the trastuzumab and trastuzumab+pertuzumab groups were 34.5% (163/472) and 57.9% (324/560), respectively, and the difference was significant (P < 0.001). The incidence of grade 4 AEs was 24/321 (7.5%) in the trastuzumab+pertuzumab group, and there were no cases in which the left ventricular ejection fraction decreased by more than 10%. CONCLUSIONS Patients in the trastuzumab+pertuzumab group had a higher pCR rate than those in the trastuzumab group, and the toxic side effects were tolerable.

BACKGROUND: : Breast cancer with low-positive human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression has triggered further refinement of evaluation criteria for HER2 expression. We studied the clinicopathological features of early-stage breast cancer with low-positive HER2 expression in China and analyzed prognostic factors. METHODS: : Clinical and pathological data and prognostic information of patients with early-stage breast cancer with low-positive HER2 expression treated by the member units of the Chinese Society of Breast Surgery and Chinese Society of Surgery of Chinese Medical Association, from January 2015 to December 2016 were collected. The prognostic factors of these patients were analyzed. RESULTS: : Twenty-nine hospitals provided valid cases. From 2015 to 2016, a total of 25,096 cases of early-stage breast cancer were treated, 7642 (30.5%) of which had low-positive HER2 expression and were included in the study. After ineligible cases were excluded, 6486 patients were included in the study. The median follow-up time was 57 months (4-76 months). The disease-free survival rate was 92.1% at 5 years, and the overall survival rate was 97.4% at 5 years. At the follow-up, 506 (7.8%) cases of metastasis and 167 (2.6%) deaths were noted. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that tumor stage, lymphvascular invasion, and the Ki67 index were related to recurrence and metastasis (P < 0.05). The recurrence risk prediction model was established using a machine learning model and showed that the area under the receiving operator characteristic curve was 0.815 (95% confidence interval: 0.750-0.880). CONCLUSIONS: : Early-stage breast cancer patients with low-positive HER2 expression account for 30.5% of all patients. Tumor stage, lymphvascular invasion, and the Ki67 index are factors affecting prognosis. The recurrence prediction model for breast cancer with low-positive HER2 expression based on a machine learning model had a good clinical reference value for predicting the recurrence risk at 5 years.

Objective:To analyze the statuses of CD8 + T cell exhaustion in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection and co-infection. Methods:A total of 87 patients infected with HIV and/or MTB in Wuxi Fifth People′s Hospital and Taicang First People′s Hospital from August 2019 to January 2020 were enrolled, including 18 cases of HIV infection, 34 cases of active tuberculosis (ATB), 19 cases of latent tuberculosis infection (LTB), seven cases of HIV coinfected with ATB, and nine cases of HIV coinfected with LTB. Another 11 healthy controls were also included. The peripheral blood of all subjects was collected for cell surface staining and intracellular cytokine staining, and flow cytometry was used to detect the expressions of activation molecules including CD62 ligand, CD44 and CD127, the transcription factor like eomesodermin (EOMES), T cell factor 1 (TCF-1), T-box expressed in T cells (T-bet), B lymphocyte-induced maturation protein 1 (Blimp-1), inhibitory receptors including programmed death-1 (PD-1) and T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (Tim-3) on CD8 + T cells. Mann-Whitney U test was used for statistical analysis. Results:The mean fluorescence intensities (MFIs) of the activation molecules CD62 ligand and CD44 in the HIV group were lower than those in the healthy control group, while the inhibitory receptor Tim-3 was higher than that in the healthy control group. The differences were all statistically significant ( U=31.00, 1.00 and 0.00, respectively, all P<0.010). The MFIs of CD62 ligand and CD44 in HIV coinfected with LTB group were lower than those in LTB group, while PD-1 and Tim-3 were higher than those in LTB group. The differences were all statistically significant ( U=4.00, 26.00, 6.00 and 3.00, respectively, all P<0.010). The MFIs of CD62 ligand, CD44 and CD127 in HIV coinfected with ATB group were lower than those in ATB group, while PD-1 and Tim-3 were higher than those in ATB group. The differences were all statistically significant ( U=9.00, 40.00, 45.50, 28.00 and 7.00, respectively, all P<0.010). The proportion of terminal effector CD8 + T cells in the HIV group was higher than that in the healthy control group, while the proportion of central memory CD8 + T cells was lower than that in the healthy control group. The differences were both statistically significant ( U=15.00 and 33.00, respectively, both P<0.010). The proportion of terminal effector CD8 + T cells in the HIV coinfected with LTB group was higher than the LTB group, while the proportion of central memory CD8 + T cells was lower than that in the LTB group. The differences were both statistically significant ( U=7.00 and 20.00, respectively, both P<0.010). The proportion of terminal effector CD8 + T cells in the HIV coinfected with ATB group was higher than that in ATB group, while the proportion of central memory CD8 + T cells was lower than that in ATB group. The differences were statistically significant (both U=7.00, P<0.001). The expression level of PD-1 + Tim-3 + T cells in HIV group was higher than that in healthy control group, that in HIV coinfected with LTB group was higher than that in LTB group, and that in HIV coinfected with ATB group was higher than that in ATB group. The differences were all statistically significant ( U=21.00, 6.00 and 5.50, respectively, all P<0.001). The MFI of transcription factors EOMES and TCF-1 in HIV coinfected with LTB group were lower than those in HIV group, while the MFI of T-bet was higher than that in HIV group. The differences were all statistically significant ( U=3.00, 4.00 and 9.00, respectively, all P<0.001). The MFI of EOMES and TCF-1 in HIV coinfected with ATB group were lower than those in HIV group, while the MFI of T-bet and Blimp-1 were higher than those in the HIV group. The differences were all statistically significant ( U=11.00, 14.00, 7.00 and 22.00, respectively, all P<0.050). Conclusions:MTB co-infected with HIV patients present lower immune function and a higher degree of CD8 + T cell exhaustion. In addition, HIV patients co-infected with LTB and ATB have a higher degree of CD8 + T cell exhaustion than HIV infected patients.
