Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and psoriasis re-infected with measles: one case report and literature analysis / 中国基层医药

Objective:To analyze the rash characteristics and diagnosis and treatment process of measles infection in patients with diabetes mellitus and psoriasis, to reduce the clinical diagnosis and treatment delay of such patients.Methods:The clinical data of a patient with diabetes combined with psoriasis and measles infection who was diagnosed and treated in The First Hospital of Yulin in April 2015 were analyzed.Results:The patient was admitted to hospital due to polydipsia and polyuria for 3 years and fever for 3 days. Hypoglycemic and anti-inflammatory treatment after admission was not good. On the third day after hospitalization, rash on the trunk and the extremities was seen. The patient had a history of measles infection. Based on clinical practice, Measles morbillivirus infection was not excluded, and Measles morbillivirus infection was confirmed by pathogen inspection. Measles reinfection was considered to be caused by variation of Measles morbillivirus. The atypical rash formed because of the patient's need for long-term treatment with Acitretin capsule and capotriol for psoriasis. After adjusting the antibiotic treatment, hypoglycemia and antiviral therapy were given, the body temperature was normal and the rash gradually subsided.Conclusion:For patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and psoriasis, if they have a fever, they should be considered comprehensively to guard against re-infection caused by measles virus mutation. Timely etiological diagnosis is performed to avoid missed diagnosis and delayed treatment.

Evaluation of health warning labels for commercial locations vending sugar-sweetened beverages / 环境与职业医学

Background Long-term excessive consuming sugar-sweetened beverages have a negative impact on health. In order to decrease the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and create a healthy food environment, the Health Commission of Shenzhen Municipality pioneered to enforce health warning labels presented in commercial locations vending sugar-sweetened beverages based on relevant provisions of the Health Regulations of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone，but its effect has not yet been evaluated. Objective To evaluate the impact of presenting health warning labels in commercial locations vending sugar-sweetened beverages in Shenzhen. Methods A multi-stage stratified sampling method was used to randomly select one street in each of the 10 districts (excluding the Shenzhen Shantou Special Cooperation Zone) of Shenzhen followed by a convenience sampling to select sampling sites to conduct an undercover investigation on the presentation of health warning labels for sugar-sweetened beverages in six different types of venues (n=232) such as shopping malls, ordinary supermarkets/convenience stores, self-service vending machines, catering service places, medical institutions, and venues serving minors' education and activities. At the same time, 238 site managers, 1002 adult consumers, and 7396 child and adolescent consumers were interviewed. Results Among 213 commercial locations vending sugar-sweetened beverages, the rate of health warning label installation was 26.3%, with the highest installation rate in shopping malls (55.0%). Among site managers, 47.8% were aware that commercial locations were required to install health warning labels, and 50.0% were aware of the standards for setting up health warning labels. The higher the awareness of relevant regulations, the higher the rate of installation of health warning labels. More than half of site managers (55.3%) believed that after installing health warning labels, the sales of sugar-sweetened beverages and sugar-sweetened beverages in large-volume packages had decreased compared to the same period in previous years. Most of the interviewed consumers indicated that if they saw the health warning labels for sugar-sweetened beverages, they would buy less, give up purchasing, or choose low-sugar or sugar-free beverages, and also discourage their family members or friends from drinking such beverages. Compared with participants without awareness of the health warning labels, both adult and child and adolescent consumers with awareness of the health warning labels believed that the installation is beneficial to their good eating habits and reported a higher proportion of discouraging family members or friends from drinking such beverages, with a lower frequency of consuming sugar-sweetened beverages. Conclusion Health warning labels for sugar-sweetened beverages have a significant effect on promoting behavior changes, and both site managers and citizens have a high level of support for them. However, in view of the low voluntary compliance rate of commercial locations and the installation rate of health warning labels, the publicity and enforcement of the Health Regulations of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone should be enhanced.

Trastuzumab Combined with Irinotecan in Patients with HER2-Positive Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: A Phase II Single-Arm Study and Exploratory Biomarker Analysis / Journal of the Korean Cancer Association, 대한암학회지

Purpose@#The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is an established therapeutic target for various kinds of solid tumors. HER2 amplification occurs in approximately 1% to 6% of colorectal cancer. In this study, we aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy in HER2-positive metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). @*Materials and Methods@#An open-label, phase II trial (Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT03185988) was designed to evaluate the antitumor activity of trastuzumab and chemotherapy in HER2-positive digestive cancers excluding gastric cancer in 2017. Patients from this trial with HER2-positive, KRAS/BRAF wild-type, unresectable mCRC were analyzed in this manuscript. Eligible patients were treated with trastuzumab (8 mg/kg loading dose and then 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks) and irinotecan (120 mg/m2 days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks). The primary endpoint was the objective response rate. @*Results@#Twenty-one HER2-positive mCRC patients were enrolled in this study. Seven patients (33.3%) achieved an objective res-ponse, and 11 patients (52.4%) had stable disease as their best response. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 4.3 months (95% confidence interval, 2.7 to 5.9). Four of the 21 patients (19.0%) had grade 3 adverse events, including leukopenia, neutropenia, urinary tract infection, and diarrhea. No treatment-related death was reported. Exploratory analyses revealed that high tumor tissue HER2 copy number was associated with better therapeutic response and PFS. Alterations in the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, HER2 gene, phosphoinositide 3-kinase/AKT pathway, and cell cycle control genes were potential drivers of trastuzumab resistance in mCRC. @*Conclusion@#Trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy is a potentially effective and well-tolerated therapeutic regimen in mCRC with a high HER2 copy number.

Gene cloning and sequence analysis of the RPL29 gene and its effect on lipogenesis in goat intramuscular adipocytes / 生物工程学报

The aim of this study was to clone the goat RPL29 gene and analyze its effect on lipogenesis in intramuscular adipocytes. Using Jianzhou big-eared goats as the object, the goat RPL29 gene was cloned by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), the gene structure and expressed protein sequence were analyzed by bioinformatics, and the mRNA expression levels of RPL29 in various tissues and different differentiation stages of intramuscular adipocytes of goats were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The RPL29 overexpression vector pEGFP-N1-RPL29 constructed by gene recombination was used to transfect into goat intramuscular preadipocytes and induce differentiation. Subsequently, the effect of overexpression of RPL29 on fat droplet accumulation was revealed morphologically by oil red O and Bodipy staining, and changes in the expression levels of genes related to lipid metabolism were detected by qRT-PCR. The results showed that the length of the goat RPL29 was 507 bp, including a coding sequence (CDS) region of 471 bp which encodes 156 amino acid residues. It is a positively charged and stable hydrophilic protein mainly distributed in the nucleus of cells. Tissue expression profiling showed that the expression level of this gene was much higher in subcutaneous adipose tissue and inter-abdominal adipose tissue of goats than in other tissues (P < 0.05). The temporal expression profile showed that the gene was expressed at the highest level at 84 h of differentiation in goat intramuscular adipocytes, which was highly significantly higher than that in the undifferentiated period (P < 0.01). Overexpression of RPL29 promoted lipid accumulation in intramuscular adipocytes, and the optical density values of oil red O staining were significantly increased (P < 0.05). In addition, overexpression of RPL29 was followed by a highly significant increase in ATGL and ACC gene expression (P < 0.01) and a significant increase in FASN gene expression (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the goat RPL29 may promote intra-muscular adipocyte deposition in goats by up-regulating FASN, ACC and ATGL.

Cloning and expression profile of ZFP36L1 gene in goat / 生物工程学报

The purpose of this study was to clone and characterize the ZFP36L1 (zinc finger protein 36-like 1) gene, clarify its expression characteristics, and elucidate its expression patterns in different tissues of goats. Samples of 15 tissues from Jianzhou big-eared goats, including heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney were collected. Goat ZFP36L1 gene was amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), then the gene and protein sequence were analyzed by online tools. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to detect the expression level of ZFP36L1 in intramuscular preadipocytes in different tissues and adipocytes of goat at different differentiation stages. The results showed that the length of ZFR36L1 gene was 1 224 bp, and the coding sequence (CDS) region was 1 017 bp, encoding 338 amino acids, which was a non-secretory unstable protein mainly located in nucleus and cytoplasm. Tissue expression profile showed that ZFP36L1 gene was expressed in all selected tissues. In visceral tissues, the small intestine showed the highest expression level (P < 0.01). In muscle tissue, the highest expression level was presented in longissimus dorsi muscle (P < 0.01), whereas the expression level in subcutaneous adipose tissue was significantly higher than that in other tissues (P < 0.01). The results of induced differentiation showed that the expression of this gene was up-regulated during adipogenic differentiation of intramuscular precursor adipocytes (P < 0.01). These data may help to clarify the biological function of the ZFP36L1 gene in goat.

Cloning, identification and functional analysis of the goat transcription factor c-fos / 生物工程学报

C-fos is a transcription factor that plays an important role in cell proliferation, differentiation and tumor formation. The aim of this study was to clone the goat c-fos gene, clarify its biological characteristics, and further reveal its regulatory role in the differentiation of goat subcutaneous adipocytes. We cloned the c-fos gene from subcutaneous adipose tissue of Jianzhou big-eared goats by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and analyzed its biological characteristics. Using real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), we detected the expression of c-fos gene in the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, subcutaneous fat, longissimus dorsi and subcutaneous adipocytes of goat upon induced differentiation for 0 h to 120 h. The goat overexpression vector pEGFP-c-fos was constructed and transfected into the subcutaneous preadipocytes for induced differentiation. The morphological changes of lipid droplet accumulation were observed by oil red O staining and bodipy staining. Furthermore, qPCR was used to test the relative mRNA level of the c-fos overexpression on adipogenic differentiation marker genes. The results showed that the cloned goat c-fos gene was 1 477 bp in length, in which the coding sequence was 1 143 bp, encoding a protein of 380 amino acids. Protein structure analysis showed that goat FOS protein has a basic leucine zipper structure, and subcellular localization prediction suggested that it was mainly distributed in the nucleus. The relative expression level of c-fos was higher in the subcutaneous adipose tissue of goats (P < 0.05), and the expression level of c-fos was significantly increased upon induced differentiation of subcutaneous preadipocyte for 48 h (P < 0.01). Overexpression of c-fos significantly inhibited the lipid droplets formation in goat subcutaneous adipocytes, significantly decreased the relative expression levels of the AP2 and C/EBPβ lipogenic marker genes (P < 0.01). Moreover, AP2 and C/EBPβ promoter are predicted to have multiple binding sites. In conclusion, the results indicated that c-fos gene was a negative regulatory factor of subcutaneous adipocyte differentiation in goats, and it might regulate the expression of AP2 and C/EBPβ gene expression.

Spine curvature and the cardiopulmonary exercise endurance of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis / 中华物理医学与康复杂志

Objective:To quantify any correlation between the severity of spinal curvature of an adolescent with idiopathic scoliosis and their cardiopulmonary exercise endurance.Methods:The cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) results and the full-length spinal X-rays in a standing position of 64 adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis were reviewed retrospectively. Independent t-tests were used to compare the two datasets obtained from those with left or right thoracic scoliosis. The correlation between the Cobb angle and cardiopulmonary exercise endurance was analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients, multiple factor linear regression and two-stage linear regression.Results:After adjusting for gender, age, height and weight, the multiple linear regression analysis showed that the Cobb angle was significantly negatively correlated with maximum tidal volume (β=-0.013) and significantly positively correlated with the rate of respiration (β=0.421). The relationship between the Cobb angle and cardiopulmonary exercise endurance was non-linear. With a Cobb angle > 34°, a 1° increase reduces cardiopulmonary exercise endurance by a factor of 1.4 on average. At smaller Cobb angles the corresponding increase is about 0.87 times.Conclusions:The Cobb angle is a negative predictor of ventilation during exercise among adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. The more severe a patient′s spinal curvature, the lower the cardiopulmonary exercise endurance is likely to be.

Analysis of Risk Factors of SkinAdverse Reactions by Intravenous Injection of Iodine ContrastAgent / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE：To investiga te main risk factors for adverse drug reactions （ADR）of skin by intravenous injection of iodine contrast agent. METHODS ：From Jan. 2009 to Apr. 2020，the patients suffering from skin ADR after enhanced CT with iodine contrast agent were collected from our hospital. The basic information ，laboratory test results before using iodine contrast agent and ADR related information were collected through hospital information system （HIS）. The use of iodine contrast agent ，main manifestations of skin ADR and drug combination were analyzed statistically. Taking the sex ，age，body mass index （BMI），the dosage of iodine contrast agent ，length of stay ，laboratory examination ，tumor history ，basic disease ，allergy history ，drinking history as independent variables ，the incidence of skin ADR related to iodine contrast agent was analyzed by single factor analysis ，and the variables with statistically significant were selected for multivariate Logistic stepwise regression analysis. RESULTS ：There were 157 cases of skin ADR ，involving 79 males（50.3％）and 78 females（49.7％）. The age ranged from 19 to 86 years old ，being（52.68± 18.73）years old in average. BMI was 14.6-40.7 kg/m2，being（22.5±3.7） kg/m2. 67 cases（42.68％）were treated with iprodione ，34 cases（21.66％）with iodixanol ，31 cases（19.74％）with iohexol and 25 cases（15.92％）with iopamidol ；the dose of iodine contrast agent were 50-100 mL，being（73.06±13.29）mL in average. There was no significant difference among different dosage of 4 kinds of iodine contrast agents （P≤0.05）. Among 4 kinds of iodine contrast agents ，the incidence of skin ADR induced by iopromide was the highest（0.197％）. The skin ADR related to iodine contrast agent was mainly acute （89.2％），the severity was mild （75.2％），and urticaria（38.9％）was the most common. After symptomatic treatment ，135 cases were cured ，13 cases were improved and 9 cases were not improved. Among the patients with iodine contrast agent related skin ADR ，the incidence of ADR induced by combined use of anti infective drugs was the highest （33.1％）；however，the combined use of anti-tumor drugs was the main cause of severe skin ADR. The length of stay ｛11～20 d[OR＝1.21，95％CI（1.07，1.20），P＝0.042]、21～30 d[OR＝1.39，95％CI（1.12，1.52），P＝0.035]、31～40 d[OR＝1.15，95％CI（1.03，1.37），P＝0.008]、＞40 d[OR＝1.33，95％CI（1.28，1.53），P＝0.003]｝，respitatory and circulatory system tumor history[OR ＝1.51，95％CI（1.35，1.61），P＝0.037]，injection allergy history[OR ＝1.50，95％CI（1.37，1.59），P＝0.005] can significantly increase the incidence of iodine contrast agent related skin ADR. CONCLUSIONS ：The main manifestation of skin ADR related to iodine contrast agent was urticaria. The main risk factors of skin ADR related to iodine contrast agent were length of stay （＞ 10 d），respiratory and circulatory system tumor history and injection allergy history.

Risk factors for delirium in intensive care unit and its duration / 中华危重病急救医学

Objective:To screen risk factors for delirium and its duration in intensive care unit (ICU)patients.Methods:1 200 patients admitted to ICU of the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from May 2017 to May 2019 were enrolled. The gender, age, anesthesia mode, duration of mechanical ventilation and hypoxia, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score, sedative drug use, and length of ICU stay were recorded. The occurrence and duration of ICU delirium were recorded. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the factors with statistical significance differences between the groups for screening the risk factors for delirium and its duration in ICU patients.Results:397 of 1 200 patients developed delirium, the incidence of ICU delirium was 33.1%. The duration of delirium in 189 patients (47.6%) was 1.0 day, and the duration of delirium in 397 delirium patients was 2.0 (1.5, 2.5) days. ① Analysis of risk factors for delirium: univariate analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the incidence of ICU delirium among patients with different genders or ages. The incidence of ICU delirium in patients with duration of mechanical ventilation or hypoxia 4-9 days and ≥ 10 days was higher than that in patients with ≤ 3 days. The incidence of ICU delirium of general anesthesia and internal medicine patients was higher than that of patients with lumbar anesthesia. The incidence of ICU delirium in patients with APACHEⅡ score ≥ 20 was higher than that in patients with ≤ 10 and 11-19. The patients with length of ICU stay > 9 days had a higher ICU delirium incidence than those ≤ 8 days. Increased incidence of ICU delirium in sedative patients was found as compared with those who did not use sedatives. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that APACHEⅡ score [odds ratio ( OR) = 5.491, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 4.361-6.913, P < 0.001], the length of ICU stay ( OR = 2.679, 95% CI was 1.822-3.941, P < 0.001) and the use of sedatives ( OR = 2.479, 95% CI was 1.821-3.374, P < 0.001) were risk factors for ICU delirium. ② Analysis of risk factors of ICU delirium duration: univariate analysis showed that there was no significant difference in ICU delirium duration in patients with different genders or ages. The duration of ICU delirium in patients with duration of mechanical ventilation or hypoxia ≥ 10 days was longer than that in patients with ≤ 3 days and 4-9 days. The duration of ICU delirium in general anesthesia and non-surgical patients was higher than that in patients with spinal anesthesia. The ICU delirium duration in patients with APACHEⅡ score ≥ 20 was longer than that in patients with ≤ 10 and 11-19. The duration of ICU delirium in patients with the length of ICU stay > 9 days was longer than that in patients with ≤ 8 days. The duration of ICU delirium in patients on sedatives was longer than those not taking sedatives. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the duration of ICU delirium increased by an average of 0.061 days (β = 0.061, 95% CI was 0.032-0.090, P < 0.001) for each additional day of hypoxia (hypoxia duration was divided into three grades of ≤ 3, 4-9 and ≥ 10 days). For every one increase in APACHE Ⅱ score (APACHE Ⅱ score was divided into three grades of ≤ 10, 11-19 and ≥ 20), duration of ICU delirium extended an average of 0.058 days (β = 0.058, 95% CI was 0.048-0.068, P < 0.001). ICU delirium duration increased by an average of 0.065 days in patients with length of ICU stay > 9 days as compared with those ≤ 8 days (β = 0.065, 95% CI was 0.056-0.075, P < 0.001). On average, the duration of ICU delirium was prolonged by 0.362 days in patients on sedatives as compared with those who did not use sedatives (β = 0.362, 95% CI was 0.234-0.490, P < 0.001). Conclusions:APACHEⅡ score, the length of ICU stay and the use of sedatives were common risk factors for ICU delirium and its duration. The hypoxic duration was risk factors for ICU delirium duration.

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of Banxia Xiexin decoction combined with clarithromycin and tinidazole in the treatment of pediatric gastritis.Methods:From March 2017 to November 2018, 100 children with gastritis admitted to the First People's Hospital of Wenling were selected.They were divided into control group (50 cases) and observation group (50 cases) by random number table method.The control group was treated with conventional western medicine.The observation group was treated with Banxia Xiexin decoction combined with clarithromycin and tinidazole.Both two groups had the same course of treatment for two weeks.The symptom score, quality of life score, epigastric fullness, epigastric pain and acid reflux disappearance time were observed before and after treatment.The clinical efficacy and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results:Before treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in the scores of gastritis symptoms and quality of life between the two groups (all P>0.05). After treatment, the scores of gastritis symptoms and quality of life in the control group were (1.27±0.22)points and (80.22±4.45)points, respectively, which in the observation group were (0.56±0.11)points and (90.53±4.11)points, respectively, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant( t=5.824, 7.825, all P<0.05). The disappearance time of upper abdominal fullness, pain and acid reflux in the control group were (5.42±2.51)d, (4.47±2.24)d, (4.68±1.51)d, respectively, which in the observation group were (4.11±1.12)d, (3.25±1.21)d, (3.21±0.24)d, respectively, the differences were statistically significant between the two groups( t=5.221, 5.167, 5.121, all P<0.05). The total effective rate of the observation group was 98.00% (49/50), which was higher than 80.00% (40/50) of the control group (χ 2=8.201, P<0.01). The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was 6.00%(3/50), which was lower than that in the control group [18.00% (9/50)] (χ 2=6.278, P<0.05). Conclusion:Banxia Xiexin decoction combined with clarithromycin and tinidazole can effectively improve the clinical symptoms, gastric function and quality of life of children with gastritis, with fewer adverse reactions, and the effect is better than conventional western medicine.

Analysis of monitoring results in water source high iodine areas in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province from 2012 to 2017 / 中华地方病学杂志

Objective:To investigate the status of removing iodized salt, water iodine, and iodine nutrition of children in water source high iodine areas in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, so as to provide basis for the implementation of prevention and control measures in high iodine areas according to local conditions.Methods:From 2012 to 2017, four administrative villages were selected from each of the high iodine townships in the water source high iodine areas (Qingxu County and Xiaodian District) in Taiyuan City, and 15 households in each administrative village were sampled for salt iodine detection by semi quantitative method. According to the "National Monitoring Program for Water Source High Iodine Areas (Trial)" (2012 edition), 1-2 high iodine villages were selected respectively in Qingxu County and Xiaodian District every year as monitoring sites, and grouped by water iodine of 150-300 μg/L and > 300 μg/L. If the monitoring site had been implemented the water improvement project, one tap water sample shall be collected. Whereas, if the monitoring site had not been implemented the water improvement project, two drinking water samples shall be collected from each household in the five directions of east, west, south, north and middle, and the water iodine shall be detected using the "Research on Methods for Water Iodine Testing in Iodine Deficiency and High Iodine Areas" recommended by the National Iodine Deficiency Disorders Reference Laboratory of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. A total of 100 children aged 8-10 years old were selected from village primary schools or central primary schools in townships where the monitoring sites were located, and their thyroid volume was detected by B-ultrasound; urine samples were taken from more than 30 children and urinary iodine was detected by arsenic-cerium catalytic spectrophotometry.Results:From 2012 to 2017, the rate of non-iodized salt in Qingxu County ranged from 91.7% (165/180) to 96.1% (173/180); the rate of non-iodized salt in Xiaodian District were all 100.0% (120/120). A total of 52 water samples were tested, and the median water iodine was 282.3 μg/L, ranged from 121.1 to 546.3 μg/L. A total of 1 401 children's thyroid were examined, and the goiter rate was 7.5% (105/1 401). A total of 597 children's urine samples were tested, and the median urinary iodine was 458.1 μg/L, ranged from 21.0 to 1 778.7 μg/L. The median urinary iodine (327.1 μg/L) and goiter rate (4.9%, 34/697) of children in the 150-300 μg/L water iodine group were compared with those in the > 300 μg/L water iodine group (552.9 μg/L; 10.1%, 71/704), the differences were statistically significant ( Z = - 8.934, χ 2 = 13.698, P < 0.01). Conclusions:From 2012 to 2017, the median water iodine is 282.3 μg/L in water source high iodine areas in Taiyuan City, the status of removing iodized salt is good (the rate of non-iodized salt > 90%). However, children have excessive iodine (median urinary iodine ≥300 μg/L) and goiter rate (> 5%). It is suggested that the main measures should be taken to improve water quality and reduce iodine content in drinking water in water source high iodine areas, continuously monitor water iodine, and timely adjust the prevention and control measures according to the change of water iodine.

Objective and significance of rotating to the department of medical imaging in standardized training of clinical pharmacists / 中华医学教育探索杂志

The rotation of clinical pharmacists in anti-infection specialty is an important part of standardized training. In view of the poor foundation of imaging diagnosis ability, short rotation time and unsystematic training scheme, the quality of standardized training has been significantly improved through strict management system, strengthening entrance education, reforming academic lecture mode, setting up tutorial system for training students and refining assessment system. It's of great significance for clinical pharmacists in the direction of anti-infection to understand systemic infection.

Research progress of relationship between peritoneal microenvironment and peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer / 中华消化外科杂志

Peritoneal metastasis is one of the most frequent metastatic patterns of advanced gastric cancer, but the mechanism underlying remains unclear. The 'seed and soil’ theory is now well recognized for peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer at present. The combination of various cells, extracellular matrix, and ascites components within the abdominal cavity provide a suitable microenvironment for the plantation, infiltra-tion, growth and metastasis of gastric cancer cells. Fully under-standing of peritoneal microenvironment will help to diagnose the peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer and tumor recurrence, and provide theoretical basis for the development of drugs targeting peritoneal microenvironment. The authors review the main cell formation, ascites and immune microenvironment involved in the formation of the peritoneal microenvironment based on relevant literatures at home and abroad, and investigate the relationship between peritoneal microenvironment and peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer.

Objective:To investigate the infrequent gene mutations of KRAS, NRAS and BRAF in colorectal cancer and their clinical significance.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 1 513 patients with colorectal cancer who were admitted to the Peking University Cancer Hospital from December 2013 to November 2018 were collected. There were 921 males and 592 females, aged from 15 to 97 years, with an average age of 59 years. The genomic DNA of tumor tissue was extracted, and the mutation status of KRAS (exon 2, 3), NRAS (exon 2, 3) and BRAF (exon 15) was detected by the Sanger sequencing. Observation indicators: (1) mutation status of KRAS, NRAS and BRAF; (2) relationship of different mutation status of KRAS, NRAS and BRAF with clinicopathological characteristics; (3) infrequent mutation status of single gene and its clinicopathological characteristics; (4) simultaneous mutations of two genes and their clinicopathological characteristics. Count data were expressed by absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed by the chi-square test.Results:(1) Mutation status of KRAS, NRAS and BRAF: the mutation rates of KRAS, NRAS and BRAF were 37.806%(572/1 513), 3.173%(48/1 513) and 5.486%(83/1 513) of the 1 513 patients with colorectal cancer, respectively. The mutation rates of exon 2 and exon 3 in KRAS were 35.889%(543/1 513) and 1.917%(29/1 513), respectively. The mutation rates of exon 2 and exon 3 in NRAS were 1.322%(20/1 513) and 1.851%(28/1 513), respectively. The mutation rate of exon 15 in BRAF was 5.486%(83/1 513).

Infrequent mutation in BRAF were found in 8 patients with colorectal cancer, with a mutation rate of 0.529%(8/1 513), including D594G mutation in 5 cases [0.330%(5/1 513)], D594H mutation in 1 case [0.066%(1/1 513)], S607T mutation in 1 case [0.066%(1/1 513)], and 599-600 codon insertion AGA in 1 case [0.066%(1/1 513)]. Of the 1 513 patients, 4 [0.264%(4/1 513)] had simultaneous mutations at codon 12 and 13 of KRAS, including 2 [0.132%(2/1 513)] with simultaneous mutations at G12V and G13D, 1 [0.066%(1/1 513)] with simultaneous mutations at G12D and G13A, and 1 [0.066%(1/1 513)] with simultaneous mutations at G12V and G13F. In addition, 1 patient [0.066%(1/1 513)] had simultaneous mutations at G13D of KRAS and G12S of NRAS, and 1 patient [0.066%(1/1 513)] had simultaneous mutations at G12C of KRAS and Q61H of NRAS. (2) Relationship of different mutation status of KRAS, NRAS and BRAF with clinicopathological characteristics: patients with different tumor location and tumor differentiation degree had significantly different KRAS mutation status ( χ2=25.317, 4.166, P<0.05); patients with different gender, tumor location, tumor differentiation degree, and lymph node metastasis had significantly different BRAF mutation status ( χ2= 11.290, 22.317, 38.035, 12.611, P<0.05). The proportion of Q61K mutation and Q61R mutation of NRAS in the patients with age of < 65 and ≥ 65 years was 12/18, 2/10 and 1/18, 5/10, respectively, showing significant differences between the two groups ( χ2=5.600, 7.542, P<0.05). (3) Infrequent mutation status of single gene and its clinicopathological characteristics: 15 of the 1 513 patients had single gene mutation. Of the 7 patients with infrequent mutations in codon 14, 59 and 60 of KRAS, 6 were males and 1 was female; 6 were < 65 years old and 1 was ≥ 65 years old; 3 had tumors located in the left colon, 3 in the right colon and 1 in the rectum; 6 had highly or moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma and 1 had poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma; 6 were in stage Ⅳ and 1 was in stage Ⅱ of TNM staging; 6 had distant metastasis and 1 had no distant metastasis; 3 had lymph node metastasis and 4 had no lymph node metastasis; there was no postoperative recurrence. Of the 8 patients with infrequent gene mutation of BRAF, 4 were males and 4 were females; 4 were < 65 years old and 4 were ≥ 65 years old; 5 had tumors located in the left colon, 1 in the right colon and 2 in the rectum; 7 had moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma and 1 had poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma; 5 were in stage Ⅳ, 2 in stage Ⅲ, and 1 in stage Ⅱ of TNM staging; 6 had distant metastasis and 2 had no distant metastasis; 3 had lymph node metastasis and 5 had no lymph node metastasis; 1 had postoperative recurrence. (4) Simultaneous mutations of two genes and their clinicopathological characteristics: 6 of the 1 513 patients had simultaneous mutations of two genes. Of 6 patients with simultaneous mutations of two genes, 5 were males and 1 was female; 2 were < 65 years old and 4 were ≥ 65 years old; 1 had tumor located in the left colon, 4 in the right colon and 1 in the rectum; 5 had highly or moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma and 1 had poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma; 5 were in stage Ⅳ and 1 was in stage Ⅱ of TNM staging; 4 had distant metastasis and 2 had no distant metastasis; 3 had lymph node metastasis and 3 had no lymph node metastasis; 1 had postoperative recurrence. Conclusions:The infrequent mutations of KRAS and BRAF in colorectal cancer often occur in the rare codon region and mainly are point mutations. Different mutations of KRAS, NRAS and BRAF are related to clinicopathological features, which provide an important basis for treatment of colorectal cancer.

Validation and comparison of risk prediction models in patients with cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction / 中华急诊医学杂志

Objective:To externally validated the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) shockⅡ score and CardShock score for predicting in-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) and compared them with the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health EvaluationⅡ (APACHEⅡ) score.Methods:According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, patients admitted to the cardiac care center (CCU) of our center from December 2010 to May 2019 were enrolled in this study. Patients’ baseline characteristics, in-hospital interventions, and outcomes were collected. The APACHEⅡ score was calculated during hospitalization by clinicians and collected by researchers. Two researchers independently calculated the IABP-ShockⅡ score and CardShock score; any disagreement was discussed with the third researcher. The performance of risk scores was evaluated by discrimination and calibration. The discriminative ability of risk scores was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and compared by the Delong method. The calibration of these risk scores was examined by the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test. The calibration plot was also built.Results:A total of 150 patients enrolled in our study, and the in-hospital mortality was 60%. According to the IABP-ShockⅡ score, patients scored as low risk (0-2), moderate risk (3-4), and high risk (5-9) had in-hospital mortality of 29%, 68%, and 80%, respectively. According to the CardShock score, patients scored as low risk (0-3), moderate risk (4-5), and high risk (6-9)had in-hospital mortality of 21%, 57%, and 82%, respectively. According to the APACHEⅡ score, patients scored<20, 20-30, and >30 had in-hospital mortality of 19%, 69%, and 93%, respectively. For predicting the in-hospital mortality, the APACHEⅡ score demonstrated excellent discrimination (AUC=0.90, 95% CI: 0.84-0.95). The IABP-ShockⅡ score and CardShock score showed good discrimination (AUC=0.76, 95% CI: 0.68-0.83 and AUC=0.79, 95% CI: 0.72-0.85). The discriminative ability did not significantly differ between the IABP-ShockⅡ score and the CardShock score (0.76 vs 0.79, P>0.05), but both of which were significantly lower than the APACHEⅡ score (0.76 vs 0.90, P<0.05, and 0.79 vs 0.90, P<0.05). At the same time, it was not significantly different between the IABP-ShockⅡ score and the CardShock score (0.76 vs 0.79, P>0.05). All of these three scores were adequately calibrated according to the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test ( P>0.05).The calibration plot showed accurate calibration of these three scores. Conclusions:Although less accurate than the APACHEⅡ score, the IABP-ShockⅡ score and CardShock score can show accurate prediction for in-hospital mortality of AMI-CS patients.
