Objective:To investigate the related factors of pleasure loss in patients with human immunodefi-ciency virus(HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS).Methods:Totally 237 patients with HIV/AIDS from a certain infectious disease hospital were selected and surveyed with a self-designed general information ques-tionnaire,the Temporal Pleasure Experience Scale(TEPS),Self Acceptance Scale(SAQ),Discrimination Percep-tion Scale(SIS),and Perceived Social Support Scale(PSSS).Results:The patient's TEPS score was(73.4±16.1).Stepwise linear regression analysis showed that the PSSS total scores,education level,and personal monthly income were positively correlated with the TEPS total scores(β=0.41,5.17,4.63),and age was negatively corre-lated with the TEPS total scores(β=-0.30).Conclusion:It suggests that more attention should be paid to the lack of pleasure in patients with HIV/AIDS,and the lack of pleasure is related to personal monthly income,educa-tion level,age and perceived social support.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection in the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) in a real-world setting.Methods:This was a real-world ambispective cohort study (MOMENT study) (Chinese clinical trial registry number: ChiCTR2200062067). Clinical data were collected from 198 patients who received mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection as monotherapy or combination therapy at 37 hospitals from January 2022 to January 2023, including 166 patients in the retrospective cohort and 32 patients in the prospective cohort; 10 patients in the treatment-na?ve group and 188 patients in the relapsed/refractory group. Clinical characteristics, efficacy and adverse events were summarized, and the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed.Results:All 198 patients were treated with mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection for a median of 3 cycles (range 1-7 cycles); 28 cases were treated with mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection as monotherapy, and 170 cases were treated with the combination regimen. Among 188 relapsed/refractory patients, 45 cases (23.9%) were in complete remission (CR), 82 cases (43.6%) were in partial remission (PR), and 28 cases (14.9%) were in disease stabilization (SD), and 33 cases (17.6%) were in disease progression (PD), with an objective remission rate (ORR) of 67.6% (127/188). Among 10 treatment-na?ve patients, 4 cases (40.0%) were in CR, 5 cases (50.0%) were in PR, and 1 case (10.0%) was in PD, with an ORR of 90.0% (9/10). The median follow-up time was 2.9 months (95% CI 2.4-3.7 months), and the median PFS and OS of patients in relapsed/refractory and treatment-na?ve groups were not reached. In relapsed/refractory patients, the difference in ORR between patients with different number of treatment lines of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection [ORR of the second-line, the third-line and ≥the forth-line treatment was 74.4% (67/90), 73.9% (34/46) and 50.0% (26/52)] was statistically significant ( P = 0.008). Of the 198 PTCL patients, 182 cases (91.9%) experienced at least 1 time of treatment-related adverse events, and the incidence rate of ≥grade 3 adverse events was 66.7% (132/198), which was mainly characterized by hematologic adverse events. The ≥ grade 3 hematologic adverse events mainly included decreased lymphocyte count, decreased neutrophil count, decreased white blood cell count, and anemia; non-hematologic adverse events were mostly grade 1-2, mainly including pigmentation disorders and upper respiratory tract infection. Conclusions:The use of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection-containing regimen in the treatment of PTCL has definite efficacy and is well tolerated, and it is a new therapeutic option for PTCL patients.

Objective:To investigate the value of monitoring on serum silent information regulator-related enzyme 3 (SIRT3), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods:Eighty patients with AIS who treatment in Qiongzhong Li and Miao Autonomous County People′s Hospital from May 2019 to April 2022 were selected retrospectively as the observation group, and 60 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examination during the same period were selected as the normal control group. The levels of serum SIRT3, GLP-1, and ANGPTL4 between the two groups were compared. The neurological deficit degree of AIS patients was evaluated by National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS) and the correlation of SIRT3, GLP-1 and ANGPTL4 with neurological deficit degree were analyzed. The levels of serum SIRT3, GLP-1 and ANGPTL4 before and after treatment and their difference value were compared between different clinical outcome of AIS patients, the risk factors for poor clinical outcome of AIS patients were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis, the value of prediction was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:The level of serum GLP-1 in the observation group was lower than that in the normal control group: (50.37 ± 5.69) nmol/L vs. (34.89 ± 4.26) nmol/L; and the levels of serum SIRT3 and ANGPTL4 in the observation group were higher than those in the normal control group: (50.37 ± 5.69) ng/L vs. (34.89 ± 4.26) ng/L, (15.07 ± 3.12) μg/L vs. (11.15 ± 2.63) μg/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The results of correlation analysis showed that the levels of serum SIRT3 and ANGPTL4 were positively correlated with the degree of neurological impairment in AIS patients( r = 0.631, 0.776, P<0.05), and the level of serum GLP-1 was negatively correlated with the degree of neurological impairment in AIS patients ( r = - 0.693, P<0.05). After treatment, 66 patients obtained good clinical outcome, the good outcome rate was 82.50%(66/80). The levels of serum SIRT3 and ANGPTL4 in the poor clinical outcome patients were higher than those in the good clinical outcome patients: (41.33 ± 4.74) ng/L vs. (37.82 ± 4.05) ng/L, (12.98 ± 2.17) μg/L vs. (11.69 ± 2.06) μg/L; the level of serum GLP-1 in the poor clinical outcome patients was lower than that in the good clinical outcome patients: (592.33 ± 98.44) nmol/L vs. (709.41 ± 125.31) nmol/L; the difference value of SIRT3, GLP-1 and ANGPTL4 before and after treatment in the poor clinical outcome patients were lower than those in the good clinical outcome patients: (10.22 ± 2.05) ng/L vs. (12.31 ± 2.94) ng/L, (268.21 ± 70.12) nmol/L vs. (379.92 ± 85.33) nmol/L, (2.18 ± 0.65) μg/L vs. (3.36 ± 0.94) μg/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The results of Logistic regression analysis showed that differences value of SIRT3, GLP-1 and ANGPTL4 before and after treatment were all independent influencing factors of poor clinical outcome in patients with AIS ( P<0.05). The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of differences value of SIRT3, GLP-1 and ANGPTL4 before and after treatment in predicting poor clinical outcome were 0.701, 0.758 and 0.844, respectively, and had certain predictive value, the AUC of joint evaluation was the largest (0.912). Conclusions:The levels of serum SIRT3 and ANGPTL4 in patients with AIS are increased, and the level of serum GLP-1 is decreased, and they are related to the degree of neurological deficit. Clinical monitoring of their level changes is helpful for clinical evaluation of the clinical outcome of patients with AIS.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the intervention effect of exposure and response prevention (ERP) on obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).Methods:PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, EBSCO, Cochrane Library, Embase, Science Direct, Wanfang Data, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and VIP-CSTJ were used to collect randomized controlled studies related to ERP for OCD.Randomized controlled studies that met the criteria were included, with the score of Yale-Brown obsessive-compulsive scale as the primary outcome indicator and the scores of anxiety and depression scale as secondary outcome indicators, while the included literatures were evaluated for literature quality and data extraction.Review Manager 5.3 and Stata 16.0 softwares were used to conduct Meta-analysis on the extracted data.Results:Twenty-seven studies with a total of 1 239 patients were included, and 599 cases in the ERP group and 640 cases in the control group.Meta-analysis results showed that the efficacy of ERP group was significantly better than that of blank control group(MD=-6.55, 95% CI: -8.75--4.35, P<0.001) and significantly better than chlorpromazine control group treatment (MD=-5.88, 95% CI: -8.20--3.56, P<0.001) for improving patients' obsessive-compulsive symptoms, but not significantly different from CBT intervention (MD=0.21, 95% CI: -1.62-2.04, P=0.82), and the efficacy of ERP and CBT had no significant during the post-intervention follow-up period (MD=0.41, 95% CI: -2.45-3.27, P=0.78). For improving patients' depressed mood, ERP was effective in improving patients' depressed mood (SMD=-0.45, 95% CI: -0.74--0.17, P=0.002), but not significantly different from CBT (SMD=-0.05, 95% CI: -0.27-0.16, P=0.62). For improving anxiety, the efficacy of ERP group was not different from that of control group (SMD=-0.17, 95% CI: -0.56-0.23, P=0.41). Conclusion:ERP has good feasibility in improving obsessive-compulsive symptoms and depression in patients with OCD.However, long-term efficacy was not verified for improving anxiety and maintaining long-term efficacy during the follow-up period.

Chalcone is a common scaffold in natural products with optimal properties and biological activities.In this study, we designed and prepared eight new coumarin-chalcone derivatives (5a-5h), and confirmed their structures by 1H NMR and 13C NMR. Their in vitro antifungal activity combined with fluconazole (FLC) against drug-resistant Candida albicans was tested by microdilution method.The results indicated that most chalcone derivatives showed good antifungal activity against drug resistant Candida albicans with FLC, particularly with compound 5g displaying better antifungal activity (MIC50 = 5.60 μg/mL) than FLC (MIC50 = 200 μg/mL) when combined with FLC, so, these derivatives could be used as synergists of antifungal drugs.

【Objective】 To analyze the profile of perioperative allogenic blood transfusion for single disease in patients who underwent spinal deformity correction surgery and risk factors of the blood transfusion, in order to provide reference for clinical decision making. 【Methods】 Clinical data from medical record homepage of 292 patients who underwent elective spinal deformity correction surgery at Chengdu Third People′s Hospital from January 2015 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Statistical analysis of the transfusion profile of allogeneic blood based on the type of single disease in patients undergoing correction surgery was performed. Multiple factor linear regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors of perioperative allogenic blood transfusion in patients with spinal deformity correction surgery. Hospital length of stay and discharge status were compared between transfusion group and non-transfusion group using Mann Whitney U test and chi-square test respectively. 【Results】 The year prevalence of perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion from 2015 to 2017 were 90.38%(47/52), 93.62%(44/47) and 81.35%(157/193), respectively. The prevalence of perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion in patients with kyphotic deformity in ankylosing spondylitis, kyphosis, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, scoliosis and spinal stenosis were 89.08%(106/119)、79.49%(62/78)、95.24%(40/42)、84.38%(27/32) and 61.90%(13/21), respectively. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the regression coefficients for age and osteotomy were -0.060 (P<0.05) and 2.060 (P<0.05), respectively. Compared with non-transfusion group, the transfusion group had longer hospital length of stay (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion in patients with spinal deformity correction surgery is closely related to the type of single disease. Age is a protective factor for perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion, while osteotomy is a risk factor for perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion in patients undergoing the spinal deformity correction surgery. Perioperative blood transfusion can also prolong the hospital length of stay of the patients.

Cyclodipeptide (CDP) composed of two amino acids is the simplest cyclic peptide. These two amino acids form a typical diketopiperazine (DKP) ring by linking each other with peptide bonds. This characteristic stable ring skeleton is the foundation of CDP to display extensive and excellent bioactivities, which is beneficial for CDPs' pharmaceutical research and development. The natural CDP products are well isolated from actinomycetes. These bacteria can synthesize DKP backbones with nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) or cyclodipeptide synthase (CDPS). Moreover, actinomycetes could produce a variety of CDPs through different enzymatic modification. The presence of these abundant and diversified catalysis indicates that actinomycetes are promising microbial resource for exploring CDPs. This review summarized the pathways for DKP backbones biosynthesis and their post-modification mechanism in actinomycetes. The aim of this review was to accelerate the genome mining of CDPs and their isolation, purification and structure identification, and to facilitate revealing the biosynthesis mechanism of novel CDPs as well as their synthetic biology design.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of Angiostrongylus cantonensis infection in market-sold and field-captured snails in Fujian Province, so as to provide the scientific basis for the formulation of the angiostrongyliasis control measures. Methods In each month from May to October during the period from 2017 through 2021, Pomacea snails were collected from two field fixed surveillance sites and Bellamya aeruginosa collected from one agricultural product market in Fuzhou City, while Pomacea and B. aeruginosa snails were collected from two agricultural product markets and four restaurants in Xiamen City. At least 50 Pomacea snails and 500 g B. aeruginosa were sampled each time. A. cantonensis infection was detected in Pomacea snails using lung microscopy, and in B. aeruginosa using a tissue homogenate method. Results A total of 9 531 Pomacea snails were detected for A. cantonensis infection in two cities of Fuzhou and Xiamen, and the overall prevalence of A. cantonensis infection was 4.40%, with the highest prevalence in 2017 (6.82%, 116/1 701) and the lowest prevalence in 2019 (3.46%, 83/2 400). The prevalence of A. cantonensis infection was significantly higher in Pomacea snails sampled from Fuzhou City (11.23%, 326/2 903) than from Xiamen City (1.40%, 93/6 628) (χ² = 461.48, P < 0.01). A. cantonensis larvae were detected in larval Pomacea snails in two cities of Fuzhou and Xiamen each month. The prevalence of A. cantonensis infection in Pomacea snails appeared an overall tendency towards a rise with month in Fuzhou City, with the highest prevalence in October (15.24%), and there was a significant difference among month (χ² = 14.56, P < 0.05), while the prevalence of A. cantonensis infection in Pomacea snails was low in Pomacea snails sampled from Xiamen City each month, with the highest prevalence in June (2.64%), and there was a significant difference among month (χ² = 23.17, P < 0.05). A total of 18 966 B. aeruginosa snails were detected for A. cantonensis infection in two cities of Fuzhou and Xiamen, and the overall prevalence of A. cantonensis infection was 0.01%. Conclusions A. cantonensis infection was identified in Pomacea and B. aeruginosa snails in Fujian Province from 2017 to 2021, and there is a potential risk of human A. cantonensis infection.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of concurrent and asynchronous radiochemotheray for early extranodal nasal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL).Methods:From 2007 to 2020, 278 patients with early NKTCL treated with comprehensive treatment in the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Guizhou Medical University were recruited. According to the adjusted Nomogram-revised risk index (NRI) prognostic model, there were 49 cases in the good prognostic group without adverse prognostic factors (age>60 years old, increased serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), ECOG score ≥2, primary tumor invasion (PTI), Ann Arbor stage Ⅱ, and 229 cases in the poor prognostic group with any adverse prognostic factors. 145 of these cases were treated with concurrent radiochemotherapy, and 133 of them were treated with asynchronous radiochemotherapy.Results:The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of the whole group was 71.0%, and the progression-free survival (PFS) rate was 67.6%. The 5-year OS rate in the good prognostic group was 95.6%, and 65.4% in the poor prognostic group ( P<0.001). In the poor prognostic group, the 5-year OS rates of patients with NRI=1(low-and moderate-risk group), NRI=2(moderate-and high-risk group), NRI≥3(high-risk group) were 72.1%, 61.1% and 47.7%, respectively ( P=0.007). There was no significant difference in curative effect between the concurrent and asynchronous radiochemotherapy groups. The 5-year OS rates were 70.6% and 69.8%( P=0.783), and the 5-year PFS rates were 67.6% and 65.2%( P=0.631). Further stratified analysis showed that the 5-year OS rates of patients with NRI=1 receiving concurrent and asynchronous radiochemotherapy were 73.1% and 76.5%( P=0.576), 62.6% and 69.3%( P=0.427) for those with NRI=2, and 58.1% and 42.3% for those with NRI≥3( P=0.954). Conclusions:Comprehensive treatment can significantly improve the prognosis of early NKTCL in the poor prognostic group. In the sequence of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, there is no significant difference in 5-year OS and PFS rates between concurrent and asynchronous radiochemotherapy. Sequential treatment with better tolerance can be adopted for early NKTCL with poor prognosis.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy and prognostic factors of radiotherapy combined with asparaginase/peaspartase-based chemotherapy regimen in the treatment of early stage extranodal natural-killer/T cell lymphoma of the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT ENKTCL).Methods:267 early stage UADT ENKTCL patients were treated in Guizhou Cancer Hospital from October 2003 to February 2020. Among them, 229 patients received radiotherapy or radiotherapy combined with menpartaminase/permenidase-based chemotherapy regimen and 38 patients were treated with radiotherapy or chemotherapy alone. The overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated by Kaplan- Meier method, log-rank test was conducted for univariate analysis and Cox regression model was performed for multivariate analysis. Results:The 5-year OS and PFS were 67.2% and 61.5% in all patients. The 5-year OS and PFS in patients treated with radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy, radiotherapy alone and chemotherapy alone were 71.7%, 35% and 49%(all P<0.001), and 66.4%, 35% and 28%(all P<0.001), respectively. According to the NRI risk stratification, 246 patients treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy were divided into the favourable and the unfavourable prognosis groups. The 5-year OS was 93.3% and 64.3%( P<0.001) and the 5-year PFS was 91.1% and 56.7%( P<0.001) in two groups. For patients receiving radiotherapy with a dose ≥50 Gy and<50 Gy, the 5-year OS was 72.4% and 55.7%( P<0.001), and the 5-year PFS was 68.3%, and 36.5%( P<0.001). In the unfavourable prognosis group, the 5-year OS of patients receiving ≥ 4 and<4 cycles of chemotherapy was 65.5% and 59.2%( P=0.049), and the 5-year PFS was 60.7% and 50.6%( P=0.018). Univariate analysis showed that stage Ⅱ, ECOG≥2, primary tumor invasion, radiotherapy alone, NRI≥1(Nomogram-revised risk index), EBV-DNA≥2 750 copies/ml, radiotherapy dose < 50 Gy, and<4 cycles of chemotherapy were associated with unfavorable 5-year OS and PFS (all P<0.05), and CHOP-like regimen was the risk factor of unfavorable 5-year PFS ( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that primary tumor invasion, ECOG≥2, and radiotherapy dose <50 Gy were associated with unfavorable OS and PFS (all P<0.05), and stage Ⅱ was the risk factor of unfavorable 5-year OS ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The prognosis of early stage low-risk UADT ENKTCL of is favourable. Sufficient dose of extended involved-field radiotherapy is an important curative modality in early stage UADT ENKTCL. Compared with radiotherapy alone, radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy can significantly improve the prognosis of early stage UADT ENKTCL patients in the unfavourable prognosis group. Full-course chemotherapy can significantly prolong the long-term survival in the unfavorable prognosis group. The chemotherapy containing asparaginase can significantly enhance the prognosis of patients with early stage UADT ENKTCL.
