Objective:To investigate the relationship between gestational weight gain (GWG) in twin pregnancies and adverse perinatal outcomes.Methods:This retrospective study included twin pregnant women with live births at≥25 weeks of gestation and their offspring, who delivered at Peking University People's Hospital from January 2012 to October 2022. Total GWG was standardized according to gestational age and categorized into three groups based on the 2009 Institute of Medicine (IOM) guidelines: insufficient GWG (GWG below IOM recommendations), appropriate GWG (GWG within IOM recommendations), and excessive GWG (GWG above IOM recommendations). Comparisons between data of the three groups used analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis test or Bonferroni correction or Chi-square partitions. Multivariable logistic regression models and generalized estimating equations with logistic regression models were used to analyze the independent effects of GWG on maternal and neonatal outcomes. Results:A total of 794 twin pregnant women and their 1 588 live-born neonates were included in the study. There were 360 women (45.3%) with appropriate GWG, 356 (44.8%) with insufficient GWG, and 78 (9.8%) with excessive GWG. Both insufficient and excessive GWG were associated with an increased risk of preterm birth [adjusted ORs of 1.39 (95% CI: 1.04-1.88) and 1.70 (95% CI: 1.05-2.78), respectively]. Insufficient GWG was associated with an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (adjusted OR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.00-2.01) and low birth weight infants (adjusted OR=2.04, 95% CI: 1.57-2.66). Insufficient GWG was also associated with a reduced risk of eclampsia or preeclampsia (adjusted OR=0.50, 95% CI: 0.33-0.75), cesarean section (adjusted OR=0.48, 95% CI: 0.30-0.77), discordant twin growth (adjusted OR=0.56, 95% CI: 0.37-0.85), and large for gestational age infants (adjusted OR=0.46, 95% CI: 0.35-0.61). Excessive GWG was associated with an increased risk of eclampsia or preeclampsia (adjusted OR=2.85, 95% CI: 1.65-4.91), and large for gestational age infants (adjusted OR=2.49, 95% CI: 1.60-3.86), while with a decreased risk of low birth weight infants (adjusted OR=0.42, 95% CI: 0.27-0.65). Conclusions:More than half of the twin pregnancies have GWG outside the recommended range of the IOM guidelines. Both insufficient and excessive GWG are associated with adverse perinatal outcomes, particularly an increased risk of preterm birth.

Purpose: The risk stratification of pediatric anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) has not been standardized. In this study, new risk factors were included to establish a new risk stratification system for ALCL, and its feasibility in clinical practice was explored. Materials and Methods: On the basis of the non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma Berlin–Frankfurt–Munster 95 (NHL-BFM-95) protocol, patients with minimal disseminated disease (MDD), high-risk tumor site (multiple bone, skin, liver, and lung involvement), and small cell/lymphohistiocytic (SC/LH) pathological subtype were enrolled in risk stratification. Patients were treated with a modified NHL-BFM-95 protocol combined with an anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitor or vinblastine (VBL). Results: A total of 136 patients were enrolled in this study. The median age was 8.8 years. The 3-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival of the entire cohort were 77.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 69.0% to 83.9%) and 92.3% (95% CI, 86.1% to 95.8%), respectively. The 3-year EFS rates of low-risk group (R1), intermediate-risk group (R2), and high-risk group (R3) patients were 100%, 89.5% (95% CI, 76.5% to 95.5%), and 67.9% (95% CI, 55.4% to 77.6%), respectively. The prognosis of patients with MDD (+), stage IV cancer, SC/LH lymphoma, and high-risk sites was poor, and the 3-year EFS rates were 45.3% (95% CI, 68.6% to 19.0%), 65.7% (95% CI, 47.6% to 78.9%), 55.7% (95% CI, 26.2% to 77.5%), and 70.7% (95% CI, 48.6% to 84.6%), respectively. At the end of follow-up, one of the five patients who received maintenance therapy with VBL relapsed, and seven patients receiving anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitor maintenance therapy did not experience relapse. Conclusion This study has confirmed the poor prognostic of MDD (+), high-risk site and SC/LH, but patients with SC/LH lymphoma and MDD (+) at diagnosis still need to receive better treatment (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT03971305).

Objective To evaluate the policy of human organ transplantation in China, aiming to provide theoretical basis for further optimizing the policy of human organ transplantation. Methods Based on text mining and statistical analysis, seven normative policies of human organ transplantation formulated by national government from 2000 to 2022 were quantitatively evaluated by constructing policy modeling consistency (PMC) with 10 first-level variables and 35 second-level variables. Results Among the seven policies, six were graded as excellent policies and one as perfect policy, with an average PMC index of 8.476. Except X₈ policy audience, the scores of other second-level variables of P5 were higher than or equal to the mean. The scores of all second-level variables of P1 were lower than or equal to the mean. P1 and P5 significantly differed in X₃ policy timeliness, X₄ policy norms and X₆ policy tools. P5 was more specific and relatively comprehensive in these aspects, and its score was significantly higher than that of P1. Conclusions Human organ transplantation policies in China are generally excellent, scientific and rational. Health administrative departments at all levels should pay attention to the grasp of policy timeliness, the combination of policy tools, and fully mobilize the initiative and enthusiasm of all policy audience to participate in organ transplantation management when formulating organ transplantation policies.

Ménière's disease （MD） is an inner ear disease characterized by vertigo， tinnitus， hearing loss， and ear stuffiness. Modern therapies such as drugs， surgery， and vestibular function rehabilitation have limited effects in relieving the symptoms and reducing the recurrence. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） can alleviate the symptoms of MD with simple operation and mild adverse reactions while emphasizing psychological adjustment. The TCM treatment of MD is individualized depending on different stages and pathogenic factors. The internal treatment mainly targets phlegm， dampness， water， wind， fire， deficiency， and blood stasis. External interventions include acupuncture and moxibustion. This paper reviewed the published articles about the treatment of MD with TCM. In recent five years， the published studies were mainly clinical trials and experience discussion （or case reports）， and few reports of fundamental research were published. In these studies， the Western medicine diagnosis of MD mostly refers to the Diagnostic Basis and Efficacy Evaluation of Ménière's Disease （Guiyang， 2006） and the Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Ménière's Disease （2017）， while the TCM diagnosis mostly refers to the Criteria of Diagnosis and Therapeutic Effect of Diseases and Syndromes in Traditional Chinese Medicine issued by the National Administration of TCM in 1994. The efficacy was mostly evaluated based on clinical efficacy， scales， syndrome scores， pure tone audiometry， etc.， while caboratory indexes were rarely used. The available clinical studies about the treatment of MD with TCM generally have low quality of evidence and single intervention means. In the future， the research on the treatment of MD with TCM can be improved by standardizing the research program， improving the quality of evidence， exploring more intervention methods， and strengthening basic research.

Objective:To summarize the efficiency and long-term outcomes of limited-stage Hodgkin lymphoma in children and adolescents with ABVD therapy and determined whether omitting radiotherapy for a low-risk patient enabled the achievement of complete response (CR) after chemotherapy.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed data from 13 y (2004-2016) from patients aged ≤18 y with limited-stage HL admitted to the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center. Patients received treatment with ABVD chemotherapy alone or ABVD chemotherapy followed by low-dose involved field radiotherapy.Results:Total 85 subjects were eligible for study inclusion; the median age was 12 (3-18) y; 66 (77.6%) were men, 80 (94.1%) had stage-II disease, 56 (65.9%) were at low-risk, and the median follow-up duration was 72 (8-196) months; 12 relapsed, 2 had secondary neoplasm, and 2 died. The 5-year event free survival (EFS) was (85.6±3.8) %, and the overall survival (OS) was 100%. The 5-year EFS and OS was (89.1±4.2) % and 100%, respectively, for the low-risk cohort and (79.3±7.5) % and 100%, respectively for the intermediate-risk cohort. Among the 39 low-risk patients who achieved CR after chemotherapy, 15 received treatment with chemotherapy followed by LD-IFRT. In the exploratory subset analysis, the low-risk cohort who achieved CR after chemotherapy, the 5-year EFS for comparing ABVD alone with chemotherapy followed by LD-IFRT was (87.0±7.0) % versus 100% ( P=0.506) , and the OS was 100% for both the groups. Conclusions:Our retrospective analysis showed excellent survival of limited-stage HL patients with ABVD therapy. For patients who achieving CR after chemotherapy with low-risk HL, received chemotherapy followed by LD-IFRT does not improve 5-year OS and EFS. The use of risk- and response-based stratification may facilitate the development of effective and less toxic protocols.

Objective: To explore how to select osteotomy line and its significance in mandibular distraction osteogenesis in infants and young children. Methods: From May 2013 to July 2018, 208 infants and young children with mandibular deformity were admitted to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Guangzhou Women and Children Medical Center, including 131 males and 77 females, with the age range of 8 days to 4 years, mean age of 6 months. Their clinical records were retrospectively analyzed. There were 162 cases of Robin sequence, 37 cases of the first and branchial arch anomalies, 2 cases of Treacher-Collins syndrome, and 7 cases of other congenital malformations. During the distraction osteogenesis, different osteotomy lines were selected according to the characteristics of the mandibular deformity: (1) For short mandibular body, the straight osteotomy line was used to extend the mandibular body. (2) For short mandibular ramus, a polygonal osteotomy line was used to extend the ramus. (3) For the increased mandibular angle, a curved osteotomy line was used to change the angulation. Results: Linear osteotomy was used in 38 patients, polygonal line osteotomy were used in 129 patients, and curved osteotomy was performed in 41 patients. Among them, 4 patients with linear osteotomy had deciduous embryo injury, 6 patients with linear osteotomy and 2 patients with polygonal osteotomy had open occlusion, and patients with curved osteotomy did not have tooth and mandible damage, or malocclusion. All patients were followed up for 3 months to 5 years. The average follow-up time was 6.2 months. All osteotomy healed well, without osteonecrosis or nonunion. Conclusions For the mandibular distraction osteogenesis, osteotomy line could be individualized, according to the characteristics of mandibular deformity of infants and young children, which can reduce complications such as dental damage and open occlusion.

Purpose To evaluate the quality assessed by iconographic diagnostic test system using ROBIS. Materials and Methods"Diagnostic tests, system evaluation, Meta analysis, diagnoses*test, diagnoses*trial, systematic review, meta-analysis" were used as search term to retrieve relevant literatures recorded in CBM, CNKI, Wanfang Data, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library from January. 1, 2014 to December. 31, 2016. After two independent researchers screened the literature and extracted the information, the quality of included literatures was evaluated using ROBIS. Results Totally 219 articles were included in the study, including 93 Chinese literatures and 126 English literatures. The results of subgroup analysis showed that the quality difference between Chinese and English documents was statistically significant (P=0.018); the quality difference between the Chinese literatures and those of other regions was statistically significant (P<0.001); there was no statistical significance in quality difference regarding the year of publication (P=0.34). The ROBIS evaluation results showed that there were only 15 literatures (6.85%) with low-risk, including 2 Chinese literatures and 13 English literatures. Conclusion The quality evaluated by Chinese and English diagnostic test system, which is publicly published in iconographic diagnostic test from 2014 to 2016, is generally low, and the quality of literatures published by domestic scholars and in Chinese is still behind international levels. The maker of system evaluation in this field should prepare their research plans in advance and fully report them in future research, adequately obtain evidence, minimize bias in respects of document screening, information extraction, and evaluation of original research bias, and take into account of results stability, based on which the quality of system evaluation in this field should be further improved.

Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T cell) therapy is a novel adoptive immunotherapy where T lymphocytes are engineered with synthetic receptors known as chimeric antigen receptors (CAR). The CAR-T cell is an effector T cell that recognizes and eliminates specific cancer cells, independent of major histocompatibility complex molecules. The whole procedure of CAR-T cell production is not well understood. The CAR-T cell has been used predominantly in the treatment of hematological malignancies, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Solid tumors including melanoma, breast cancer and sarcoma offer great promise in CAR-T cell research and development. CD19 CAR-T cell is most commonly used, and other targets, including CD20, CD30, CD38 and CD138 are being studied. Although this novel therapy is promising, there are several disadvantages. In this review we discuss the applications of CAR-T cells in different hematological malignancies, and pave a way for future improvement on the effectiveness and persistence of these adoptive cell therapies.
