ABSTRACT
The use of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) has significantly improved the efficacy of different types of malignancies, but the immune-related adverse event (irAE) callsed by ICI involves multiple organs and systems, affects the treatment, threatens the health of patients and even endangers their life. Therefore, it is necessary to select biomarkers to predict and monitor the occurrence of irAE, assist in the early diagnosis of high-risk patients, and guide individualized treatment. Recent studies have shown that some certain cytokines may be involved in the genesis and development of irAE. The article provides a review of studies related to cytokines and irAE to provide a reference for clinical prediction and monitoring of irAE.
ABSTRACT
The professional title evaluation of health professionals needs to highlight the clinical performance and actual contribution, and make full use of the information system of medical and health institutions to collect relevant data as an important basis for such evaluation.Based on this, the project team innovatively developed a " clinical work data extraction system" , to extract and calculate the performance indexes of clinicians using data from homepages of medical records. Meanwhile, the team established a reference scale based on the data in the hospital quality monitoring system; developed a " health workers evaluation data platform" , visually presenting the comparison results between the clinical work performance evaluation data of a clinician, and the reference scale and the data of other applicants. In the 2021 annual evaluation of senior professional titles among some medical institutions directly under the National Health Commission and such provinces as Sichuan, Shandong and Chongqing, this method was used to extract homepage data of medical records of 7 833 applicants from 39 medical specialties in 1 416 medical institutions, and finally 6 093 people (77.79%) completed the calculation of clinical work evaluation index data. The initial application results showed that the evaluation of senior clinicians′ professional competence based on homepage data of the medical record was feasible in the senior professional title evaluation of various medical institutions at all levels equipped with the electronic medical record database system, and could effectively present the performance level and actual contribution of the applicant.
ABSTRACT
Purpose@#Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most lethal subtype of breast cancer owing to high heterogeneity, aggressive nature, and lack of treatment options, which has a substantial deleterious effect on patients' lives. HOXD antisense growth-associated long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) (HAGLR) plays tumor-promoting roles in many cancers. In this study, we aimed to explore the role of HAGLR in TNBC. @*Methods@#Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction assays were used to examine the expression of RNAs. Functional experiments were conducted to test the biological behavior of TNBC cells. Moreover, MS2-RNA immunoprecipitation, luciferase reporter, and RNA pulldown assays were conducted to verify the binding relationship between HAGLR, microRNA-143-5p (miR-143-5p), and serine- and arginine-rich splicing factor 1 (SRSF1). @*Results@#HAGLR was found to be highly expressed in TNBC tissues and cells, and inhibiting HAGLR suppressed cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and promoted cell apoptosis in TNBC. Meanwhile, miR-93-5p was shown to bind to HAGLR and SRSF1. In addition, SRSF1 plays an oncogenic role in TNBC. Importantly, HAGLR could activate the Wnt signaling pathway by sponging miR-93-5p to upregulate SRSF1; thus, accelerating TNBC progression. @*Conclusion@#HAGLR could promote the progression of TNBC through the miR-93-5p/SRSF1 axis to activate the Wnt signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT
Background and purpose:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is currently the focus of breast cancer research. Researches demonstrated that the molecular biological characteristics of different ethnic groups are not the same. This study mainly probed into the expression of endothelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in Han and Uygur TNBC patients, and the relationship between the expression and prognosis of patients.Methods:From Jan. 2007 to Jan. 2009, 167 patients were admitted. Among those, 121 were Han and 46 were Uygur patients. The expressions of EGFR, and VEGF were detected by PV-9000 immunohistochemical staining, and compared with lymph node metastasis and clinical staging. The results were analyzed by SPSS 18.0 statistical software.Results:Five-year disease-free survival (DFS) of two groups had no indifferent (P>0.05). EGFR and VEGF positive rate of Han patients was lower than that of Uygur patients (P0.05). Uygur TNBC patients might have a different prognostic factor as compared with Han patients. Further studies need to be carried out.
