ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of galvanic vestibular stimulation on stroke patients with lateropulsion. MethodsFrom February to October, 2023, 30 stroke patients with lateropulsion in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were divided into control group (n = 15) and experimental group (n = 15) randomly. The control group received routine rehabilitation and sham galvanic vestibular stimulation, and the experimental group received routine rehabilitation and true galvanic vestibular stimulation, for two weeks. They were assessed with Scale for Contraversive Pushing (SCP), subjective visual vertical (SVV), Line Cancellation Test (LCT), Star Cancellation Test (SCT), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Holden Functional Ambulation Category (FAC) and Barthel Index (BI) before and after treatment. ResultsAll the indexes improved in both groups after intervention (|t| > 2.461, Z > 3.000, P < 0.05), except the SVV orientation, SVV certainty and SCT in the control group; while the SCP, SVV certainty, LCT and FAC were better in the experimental group than in the control group (|t| > 2.189, Z = -2.862, P < 0.05), and the differences before and after intervention were better in the experimental group than in the control group (|t| > 2.382, P < 0.05), except LCT. SCP was correlated with SVV orientation, SVV certainty, SCT, BBS, BI and FAC (|r| > 0.381, P < 0.05). ConclusionGalvanic vestibular stimulation can improve the lateropulsion, balance, walking function and activities of daily living in stroke patients, which may be related to improvement for spatial cognitive function, especially vertical perception.

Analysis of the efficacy and safety of Peg-IFN- α in the treatment of essential thrombocythemia / 中国临床药理学与治疗学

AIM: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of pegylated interferon-alpha (Peg-IFN-α) in the treatment of essential thrombocythemia (ET). METHODS: A total of 50 ET patients were treated with Peg-IFN-α for more than 12 months. 180 μg was injected subcutaneously once every two weeks as the initial dose, and then the treatment interval was adjusted according to blood routine. The clinical efficacy and adverse reactions were analyzed. RESULTS: The hematologic response of ET patients treated with Peg-IFN-α occurred quickly, and the platelet decreased significantly after 3 months (508.56±120.75 vs. 931.44±209.13, P=0.000). Hematologic complete remission rate and overall remission rate at 12 months were 70% and 98%, respectively. The JAK2-V617F mutation burden of ET patients treated with Peg-IFN-α was significantly lower at 6 months of treatment than at initial diagnosis (0.254 1±0.122 8 vs. 0.315 3±0.133 2, P 0.05). Hematological adverse reactions were rare, and all of them were grade 1-2 adverse reactions. Non-hematological adverse reactions were mainly influenza-like symptoms. Most of the patients were grade 1-2, and occasionally had grade ≥3 adverse reactions. All adverse reactions could be tolerated after extending medication interval or symptomatic treatment, and no patient terminated treatment because of adverse reactions. CONCLUSION: Peg-IFN-α is effective and safe in the treatment of ET.

Tumor cell-based glycolytic metabolism and single-cell sequencing of urinary exfoliated cells for the diagnosis and molecular profiling of urothelial carcinoma / 中华病理学杂志

Objective: To explore the diagnostic values of HK2 testing and single-cell sequencing in the urothelial carcinoma (UC). Methods: The qualified urine specimens of 265 suspected UC patients or postoperative patients from the Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing, China were collected. Both exfoliative cytology and HK2 testing were performed on clinically suspected UC or postoperative patients. The performance of diagnostic cytology and HK2, including consistency, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value, was evaluated based on histopathological, clinical and imaging diagnosis. Isolated HK2 metabolically abnormal cells were subject to single-cell sequencing to verify the reliability of HK2 detection performance and to explore the molecular characteristics of UC. Results: The concordance rate of HK2 testing and cytology for detecting UC was 90.3% (102/113, Kappa=0.604). Compared with cytology, the sensitivity of HK2 was significantly higher (85.2% versus 75.6%, P=0.024). The detection sensitivity of combined HK2 testing and cytology was increased to 91.1%. HK2 testing was significantly more sensitive than cytology for diagnosing UC in the upper urinary tract (81.8% versus 65.5%, P=0.022). It was also more sensitive than cytology for diagnosing early-stage UC (82.6% versus 69.5%, P=0.375) and low-grade UC (69.6% versus 47.8%, P=0.125). Single-cell sequencing of the ten patients, whose samples were positive for HK2, demonstrated highly concordant copy number variations (CNVs) in tumor cells from the same UC patient, with heterogeneity in CNV profiles among different patients. Deletion of chromosome 8p was found in 3 of the 4 urine samples of renal pelvis UC. The 2 patients with benign lesions had no CNVs in all sequenced cells. Conclusions: The test for abnormal urinary glycolytic HK2 metabolism can assist urine cytology to improve the sensitivity of UC diagnosis, and it provides a novel and reliable approach for early detection of upper urinary tract UC and lower grade UC. Meanwhile, this study has preliminarily revealed the feasibility of single-cell sequencing in urinary samples, which is expected to improve the diagnostic specificity of HK2 testing.

Cost-utility analysis of dexamethasone combined with bortezomib and lenalidomide in the treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE To eval uate the cost-util ity of regimen containing bortezomib in the treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma in China. METHODS From the perspective of China ’s health system ，Markov model was constructed based on SWOG S 0777 clinical trial. The simulation time limit was 10 years，and the cycle was set with reference to the treatment cycle. Taking quality adjusted life years （QALYs）as the utility index ，the utility and cost were discounted at a discount rate of 5％；the willingness to pay （WTP）threshold was set to be 3 times of China ’s per capita gross domestic product （GDP）in 2021（242 928 yuan/QALY）. The incremental cost-utility ratio （ICER）of dexamethasone combined with bortezomib and lenalidomide （VRD） versus dexamethasone combined with lenalidomide （RD）were compared with cost-utility analysis. The sensitivity analysis was performed for the uncertainty of the model. RESULTS Results of baseline analysis showed that VRD regimen could obtain 0.65 more QALYs than RD scheme ，but its treatment cost was 135 782.77 yuan more than RD regimen ，ICER was 206 623.35 yuan/ QALY，which was lower than the WTP threshold set in this study ，VRD regimen was cost-effective. Single factor sensitivity analysis showed that the health utility value in progressive free survival had the greatest impact on the results ，the decrease of utility value would make the ICER higher than the WTP threshold ，and VRD regimen would no longer have advantages. Under the WTP threshold of 3 times of China ’s per capita GDP in 2021，the probability of VRD regimen being cost-effective was 86.5％； with the increase of WTP threshold ，the possibility of VRD regimen becoming more cost-effective than RD regimen would increase. CONCLUSIONS Under the WTP threshold of 3 times of China ’s per capita GDP in 2021，compared with RD regimen，VRD regimen is cost-effective in the treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myelo ma in China.

A Tibetan adolescent girl suffered frostbite on the journey of pilgrimage: A case report / 中华创伤杂志(英文版)

Frostbite in Southwestern China has been overlooked due to its low incidence, relatively mild temperature and lack of literature published before. However, it needs to be further studied for religious diversity and distinct geomorphology. In this article, we reported an 18-year-old Tibetan girl who suffered from blizzard attack during pilgrimage. Her feet and several fingers showed mummified gangrene upon physical examination with poor movement. She was diagnosed with 3rd to 4th degree of frostbite. The girl was given oral ibuprofen, debridement and other regular treatment daily, but she was eventually amputated due to insufficient thrombolytic management in primary hospital, delayed informing consent in the referral hospital and ethnic conflict between religion and guidelines. This case enriched the experience of managing complex frostbite in Tibetan population and alarms that efforts should be integrated to protect pilgrims and mountaineers in the Tibetan region.

Objective:To analyze the cancer incidence and mortality in Yixing City， Jiangsu Province in 2019. Methods:The cancer incidence and mortality in Yixing residents in 2019 were collected. Based on the data， the incidence and mortality rate， standardized incidence and mortality rate and age-specific incidence and mortality rate of cancer were calculated， and the incidence and death of major malignant tumors were also analyzed. Life table method was used to calculate life expectancy and life expectancy without cause of death. Results:The crude incidence of cancer in Yixing in 2019 was 308.61/105， the ASR China was 175.24/105， and the ASR World was 134.56/105. The crude mortality of cancer was 258.78/105， the ASR China was 125.19/105， and the ASR World was 93.01/105. The cancer incidence rate and mortality rate in males were higher than those in females. The top 5 cancers in incidence were lung， gastric， colorectal， thyroid， and esophageal cancers. The top 5 cancer deaths were lung， gastric， liver， esophageal， and colorectal cancers. In 2019， the life expectancy of Yixing residents was 82.53 years old， and the life expectancy without cause of cancer death was 86.15 years old. The biggest loss of life expectancy in the population was caused by lung cancer， followed by gastric cancer and liver cancer. Conclusion:The mortality rate of malignant tumors in Yixing is at a high level. Cancer prevention and treatment should be focused on lung cancer， thyroid cancer and malignant tumors of the digestive tract.

Studies on efficacy of a bioabsorbable steroid-eluting sinus stent in the frontal sinus opening of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps / 中华耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

Objective: To assess the efficacy of a bioabsorbable steroid-eluting sinus stent in improving surgical outcomes when placed in the frontal sinus ostium (FSO) following full endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in patients with whole group chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Methods: Patients with whole group CRSwNP who had similar lesions on bilateral sinus between September 2019 and March 2020 in Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Shanghai Changhai Hospital were chosen. Patients with CRSwNP who underwent extended ESS were randomly assigned to receive a steroid-eluting sinus stent in one FSO whereas the contralateral side received surgery alone. Endoscopic evaluations recorded at 30, 90 days postoperative were graded by an independent assessment panel to assess the need for interventions in the FSO. Semi-quantitative data with CT and endoscopic score were performed by rank sum test. The need for postoperative intervention and the patency rate of FSO were analyzed using the McNemar test. Results: Thirty-one patients with whole group CRSwNP met all eligible criteria, including 17 males and 14 females, with the age of (44.5±11.8) years(x¯±s). Stents were successfully placed in one FSO of all patients. At 30 days post-ESS, the assessment panel reported that steroid-eluting stents reduced the need for postoperative interventions by 41.0% (χ2=5.314,P=0.021), the need for oral steroid interventions by 40.0% (χ2=4.133,P=0.042) and the need for surgical interventions by 74.8% (χ2=4.292,P=0.038) compared to control sinuses with no stents. Clinical surgeons also reported greater diameter of FSO compared to control sinuses at 30 days post-ESS (74.2% vs 48.4%, χ2=4.351, P=0.037). These results at 90 days post-ESS were consistent with those at 30 days post-ESS. Conclusion: Bioabsorbable steroid-eluting sinus stents in the FSO can reduce polyp formation, adhesion, and the need for postoperative interventions in FSO of CRSwNP patients and improve the early postoperative outcomes.

Comparison on whole-body PET/CT and PET/MRI in diagnosis of adult lymphoma / 中国医学影像技术

Objective: To compare the diagnostic efficacy of PET/CT and PET/MRI for adult lymphoma. Methods: A total of 45 lymphoma patients who underwent systemic PET/CT and PET/MRI examinations. Data of PET/CT were evaluated by 2 readers independently, and PET/MRI were interpreted by 2 other readers,respectively. The maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax), D value, D* value and f value corresponding to the maximum SUVmax were obtained, and the differences of diagnostic efficacy and staging of PET/CT and PET/MRI were analyzed. Results: Both PET/CT and PET/MRI detected SUVmax in 55 lymph nodes and 5 extra-node lesions. Thirty-nine lesions were identified on intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM). For positive lesion detection, reader agreement was perfect between 2 readers and almost perfect between PET/CT and PET/MRI (k=0.956). For lymphoma staging, PET/CT was strongly consistent with PET/MRI (k=0.965). SUVmax from PET/CT and PET/MRI was significantly correlated (r=0.892, P<0.001), while weak correlation was demonstrated between D value and SUVmax (r=-0.312, P<0.050) and moderate correlation was demonstrated between f value and SUVmax (r=0.520, P<0.001). Conclusion: PET/MRI is comparable to PET/CT in diagnosis and staging in lymphoma, which can improve the accuracy of diagnosis and staging of lymphoma and moreover predict and evaluate the heterogeneity of tumor through combination of multiple parameters.

Whole body vibration can improve balance and walking after a stroke / 中华物理医学与康复杂志

Objective:To investigate the effect of whole body vibration (WBV) on balance and walking ability after a stroke.Methods:Thirty stroke survivors were randomly divided into a control group ( n=15) and an experimental group ( n=15). Both groups received 30 minutes of routine rehabilitation training twice a day, 6 days a week for 2 weeks. The experimental group was additionally provided with 14 minutes of 10Hz WBV with an amplitude of 4mm every day during the 2 weeks. Before and after the intervention, balance was quantified using the front-behind inclination angle (F-BIA), the left-right inclination angle (L-RIA) and the single-leg stance time of the hemiplegic side (SSTHS). Walking efficiency was quantified using the 10 metre walk test (10MWT) and the 3 metre timed up-and-go test (3TUG). Results:There was a significant improvement in all of the measurements in both groups after the intervention, but the improvements in average L-RIA, SSTHS, 10 MWT and 3TUG results in the experimental group were significantly greater than those in the control group.Conclusions:Supplementing routine therapy with WBV can improve balance and walking ability after a stroke more effectively than routine therapy alone.
