RESUMO
@#Objective To explore the association between the preoperative systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Methods A comprehensive literature survey was performed on PubMed, Web of Science, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Wanfang, and CNKI databases to search the related studies from inception to December 2021. The hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were combined to evaluate the correlation of the preoperative SII with overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in NSCLC patients. Results A total of 11 studies involving 9 180 patients were eventually included. The combined analysis showed that high SII levels were significantly associated with worse OS (HR=1.61, 95%CI 1.36-1.90, P<0.001), DFS (HR=1.50, 95%CI 1.34-1.68, P<0.001), and RFS (HR=1.17, 95%CI 1.04-1.33, P<0.001). Subgroup analyses also further verified the above results. Conclusion Preoperative SII is a powerful prognostic biomarker for predicting outcome in patients with operable NSCLC and contribute to prognosis evaluation and treatment strategy formulation. However, more well-designed and prospective studies are warranted to verify our findings.
RESUMO
Objective@#Based on a qualitative research method, the present study aims to explore the negative experiences and real dilemmas of adolescent with depression in the treatment and rehabilitation process, so as to provide references to promote the improvement of the treatment system for adolescent depression in China.@*Methods@#From August 2022 to November 2022, 30 adolescents with depression were selected for in-depth interviews in the inpatient department of child and adolescent psychiatry at Beijing An Ding Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University by using the purposive sampling method, and the interview data were analyzed by using the Colaizzi method to summarize the themes.@*Results@#The real dilemmas faced by depressed adolescent during treatment and recovery included three aspects:inappropriate family coping (caregivers lacking of correct disease cognition; caregivers lacking of effective coping methods), difficulties in disease diagnosis and treatment (low rate of identification and adverse effect of treatment; medical service failing to satisfy the demands), and barriers to continued schooling (barriers to academic progress and interpersonal communication).@*Conclusion@#Adolescents with depression face real dilemmas in the process of disease treatment and rehabilitation at home, school and medical care. Caregivers disease literacy and caregiving skills should be improved. A collaborative disease management system among family, school, community and medical institutions should be established to promote adolescent depression treatment and social function recovery.
RESUMO
In order to overcome the challenges of insufficient restriction enzyme sites, and construct a fusion-expression vector with flexible fusion direction, we designed an LB cloning system based on the type IIS and type IIT restriction enzymes LguⅠ and BbvCⅠ. The LB cloning system is constructed by inserting the LB fragment (GCTCTTCCTCAGC) into the multiple cloning site region of the broad-host plasmid pBBR1MCS-3 using PCR. The LB fragment contains partially overlapped recognition sites of LguⅠ and BbvCⅠ. Therefore, the same non-palindromic sequence will be generated by these two restriction endonucleases digestion. This feature can be used to quickly and flexibly insert multiple genes into the expression vector in a stepwise and directed way. In order to verify the efficacy of the cloning system, two glycosyltransferase genes welB and welK of Sphingomonas sp. WG were consecutively fused to the LB cloning vector, and the recombinant plasmid was transferred into Sphingomonas sp. WG by triparental mating. The results showed that gene fusion expression has little effect on sphingan titer, but enhanced the viscosity of sphingan. The viscosity of the sphingan produced by recombinant strain Sphingomonas sp. WG/pBBR1MCS-3-LB-welKB was 24.7% higher than that of the wild strain after fermentation for 84 h, which would be beneficial for its application. In conclusion, the application of LB cloning system were verified using Sphingomonas sp. WG. The LB cloning system may provide an efficient tool for fusion expression of target genes.
