RESUMO
Objective: To assess the long-term efficacy of metformin in megestrol acetate (MA)-based fertility-sparing treatment for patients with endometrial atypical hyperplasia (EAH) and endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC). Methods: The randomized controlled trail study was conducted from October 2013 to October 2017 in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai, China. Patients with EAH or EEC were firstly stratified according to pathology, and randomized to receive MA (160 mg orally, daily) plus metformin (500 mg orally, three times a day) or MA (160 mg orally, daily). Baseline data between two groups of patients were compared. Estimates of time to complete remission (CR) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox proportional-hazards regression model was used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) of related factors for recurrence-free survival. Quantitative data were represented by M (Q1, Q3). Results: A total of 150 patients were included, and 76 patients were allocated to receive MA plus metformin with the age of 32.5 (28.0, 36.0), while 74 patients received MA alone with the age of 32.0 (28.0, 36.0). By the end of follow-up period, 96.7% (n=145) of patients achieved complete remission, with a median follow-up time of 57.7 (26.7, 70.5) months. The median CR time for the MA plus metformin group and the MA alone group were 6.3 (3.5, 8.3) months and 6.8 (4.0, 9.3) months, respectively (P=0.193), with 2-year cumulative CR rate of 98.6% and 98.5%, respectively (P=0.879). The median time of RFS was 28.1 (12.5, 57.3) months for the MA plus metformin group and 33.3 (14.1, 62.5) months for the MA alone group (P=0.213), with a cumulative RFS rate of 61.9% and 65.8%, respectively (P=0.560). In the subgroup of non-obese (body mass index<28 kg/m2) patients with EAH, the median RFS times were 25.7 (7.6, 60.3) months and 47.3 (17.5, 64.8) months for the MA plus metformin group and the MA alone group, respectively (P=0.033), with a cumulative RFS rate of 57.5% and 80.6%, respectively (P=0.029). According to Cox proportional hazards regression analysis, undergoing assisted reproductive treatment (HR=2.358, 95%CI: 1.069-5.204, P=0.034) was identified as an independent risk factor for recurrence-free survival after complete remission of endometrial lesions. Conclusion: The long-term follow-up outcome indicates that there is no significant difference in CR time and RFS time between MA plus metformin therapy and MA alone therapy for patients with EAH or EEC.

To explore the safety and efficacy of blinatumomab in the treatment of CD19 positive (CD19+) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) in children. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of pediatric B-ALL patients who received blinatumomab treatment from Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from August 2021 to October 2023. Based on their disease status, the patients were divided into refractory/relapsed(RR) group, minimal residual disease clearance (MC) group, and chemotherapy intolerance (IC) group. Clinical data of the children were collected to evaluate the adverse drug reactions, therapeutic efficacy and survival of the children. In total, 35 patients were included, with 20 males and 15 females, aged from 0.6 to 16.4 (9.9±4.2) years old. There were 10 cases in the RR group, 20 cases in the MC group and 5 cases in the IC group. A total of 56 cycles of infusion were completed, with one cycle in 24 cases, two cycles in 5 cases, three cycles in 2 cases and four cycles in 4 cases. The median infusion time [M (Q1, Q3)] from the first to the fourth cycle was 14 (14, 28) days, 28 (28, 28) days, 28 (28, 28) days and 28 (26, 28) days, respectively. In terms of adverse reactions, the incidence of grade 1-2 cytokine release syndrome(CRS) was 57.1% (32/56), with grade 1 CRS accounting for 84.4% (27/32). The incidence rate of immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome(ICANS) (grade 4) was 1.8% (1/56). In the RR group, 6 cases were treated effectively, and minimal residual disease(MRD) turned negative, before treatment, MRD levels were all less than 20%. Among them, 3 cases had MRD turning positive again 14 to 42 days after discontinuation of Belintoumab. Four cases were treated ineffectively, with MRD >20% before treatment. All MRD positive cases in MC group turned negative and all MRD negative cases in the IC group remained negative after treatment. The median follow-up time of RR group was 5.7 (3.8, 9.4) months, and 1 year median survival rate and event-free survival rate were 40.0%±21.9% and 33.3%±19.2%, respectively. The median follow-up time for MC and IC group patients was 6.7 (5.2, 12.5) months and 7.1 (5.1, 7.6) months, respectively, with an event free survival rate of 100%. The safety and efficacy of using belintoumab in partial RR, MRD clearance, and chemotherapy intolerance are good.

Objective: To investigate the clinical features and prognostic factors of advanced myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) in children. Methods: Clinical data of children diagnosed with advanced MDS in the Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, between September 2009 and April 2022 were retrospectively collected. Follow-up assessments were performed through telephone interviews and the review of medical records until May 1, 2023. The clinical features of children with advanced MDS were summarized by analyzing chromosomal karyotype tests, second-generation gene sequencing results. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to investigate the prognostic factors of advanced MDS in children. Results: A total of 69 children, comprising 49 males and 20 females, aged [M (Q1, Q3)] 8 (5, 10) years, were enrolled in the study. Sixty-seven cases underwent chromosomal karyotype testing, of which 42 cases (62.7%) had abnormal karyotypes, with monosomy 7 the most common in 17 cases (25.4%). Forty-three cases underwent next-generation sequencing, with mutations in the SETBP1, NRAS, PTPN11 and RUNX1 genes more common, identified in 12 cases (27.9%), 9 cases (20.9%), 8 cases(18.6%), and 8 cases(18.6%), respectively. The follow-up time [M (Q1, Q3)] was 26 (13, 56) months and the 5-year overall survival rate was 56%(95%CI: 44.4%-70.5%). The 5-year overall survival rate for children who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) was higher than that of children who did not undergo HSCT (73.9% vs 29.1%, P<0.001). HSCT (HR=0.118, 95%CI: 0.037-0.372, P<0.001) was a protective factor for the overall survival rate of children with advanced MDS. Serum ferritin level>356.3 µg/L (HR=6.497, 95%CI: 2.068-20.415, P=0.001) and moderate to severe splenomegaly (HR=4.075, 95%CI: 1.174-14.141, P=0.027) were risk factors for the overall survival rate of children with advanced MDS. Conclusions: Monosomy 7 was the most common abnormal karyotype and SETBP1 was the gene that had the highest mutation frequency in children with advanced MDS. HSCT, increased ferritin and moderate to severe splenomegaly are prognostic factors influencing the overall survival rate of children with advanced MDS.

Irreversible pulpitis is characterized by inflammation of the pulp, leading to secondary interstitial hypertension and blood circulation disorders. This study explores the development of one-way membrane decompression to alleviate interstitial hypertension in the inflamed pulp and prevent the invasion of oral microorganisms into the pulp tissue. Additionally, this technique aims to improve the microcirculation of the pulp tissue by consistently reducing the pressure within the pulp cavity. Once the inflamed pulp tissue is restored, permanent crown filling can be performed. In this paper, we present a case study involving a patient with irreversible pulpitis who underwent vital pulp treatment using the one-way decompressed membrane. A four-year follow-up evaluation revealed satisfactory outcomes.

Objective: To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of testicular relapse in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods: Clinical data including the age, time from initial diagnosis to recurrence, relapse site, and therapeutic effect of 37 pediatric ALL with testicular relapse and treated in Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between November 2011 and December 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were grouped according to different clinical data. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate the overall survival (OS) rate and event free survival (EFS) rate for univariate analysis, and Cox proportional-hazards regression model was used to evaluate the influencing factors of OS rate and EFS rate for multivariate analysis. Results: The age at initial diagnosis of 37 pediatric testicular relapse patients was (5±3) years and the time from initial diagnosis to testicular recurrence was (37±15) months. The follow-up time was 43 (22, 56) months. Twenty-three patients (62%) were isolated testis relapse. The 5-year OS rate and EFS rate of the 37 relapsed children were (60±9) % and (50±9) % respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the 2-year EFS rate in the group of patients with time from initial diagnosis to testicular recurrence >28 months was significantly higher than those ≤28 months ((69±10)% vs. (11±11)%, P<0.05), 2-year EFS rate of the isolated testicular relapse group was significantly higher than combined relapse group ((66±11)% vs. (20±13) %, P<0.05), 2-year EFS rate of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell treatment after relapse group was significantly higher than without CAR-T cell treatment after relapse group ((78±10)% vs. (15±10)%, P<0.05). ETV6-RUNX1 was the most common genetic aberration in testicular relapsed ALL (38%, 14/37). The 4-year OS and EFS rate of patients with ETV6-RUNX1 positive were (80±13) % and (64±15) %, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified relapse occurred≤28 months after first diagnosis (HR=3.09, 95%CI 1.10-8.72), combined relapse (HR=4.26, 95%CI 1.34-13.52) and CAR-T cell therapy after relapse (HR=0.15,95%CI 0.05-0.51) were independent prognostic factors for 2-year EFS rate (all P<0.05). Conclusions: The outcome of testicular relapse in pediatric ALL was poor. They mainly occurred 3 years after initial diagnosis. ETV6-RUNX1 is the most common abnormal gene.Patients with ETV6-RUNX1 positive often have a favorable outcome. Early relapse and combined relapse indicate unfavorable prognosis, while CAR-T cell therapy could significantly improve the survival rate of children with testicular recurrence.

OBJECTIVE: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a widely recognized effective bariatric surgery. However, variable weight loss outcomes post-surgery remained a clinical challenge. Currently, there is no established consensus on the factors influencing weight loss failure following LSG. This study aimed to explore the association between preoperative cortisol secretion autonomy and postoperative weight loss in obese patients undergoing LSG. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A cohort of 181 patients with simple obesity (BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2) who underwent LSG and were followed up for one year was analyzed. Weight loss was measured by the percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL), and cortisol secretion autonomy was evaluated using a 1 mg dexamethasone suppression test (DST). Regression models were used to analyze the correlation between preoperative 1 mg DST results and %EWL one year after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). RESULTS: Cortisol secretion autonomy was significantly lower in the %EWL ≥ 75% group and higher in the %EWL < 75% group, showing a negative correlation with %EWL (R = -0.336, p = 0.001). Logistic regression analysis indicated that high cortisol secretion autonomy was significantly correlated with %EWL < 75% after LSG. The likelihood of %EWL being < 75% was 10.47 times greater in patients with high cortisol secretion autonomy compared to those with low cortisol secretion autonomy (odds ratio 10.472, confidence interval: 1.660-66.048, p = 0.012). CONCLUSIONS: Cortisol secretion autonomy emerges as an independent predictor of weight loss outcomes in Asian patients undergoing LSG. This finding suggests the potential for cortisol secretion autonomy to inform preoperative assessments and personalized treatment strategies in bariatric surgery.
