Objective To analyze the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) of infants over 6 months of age and exclusive breastfeeding and calcium nutrition guidance during pregnancy in Baoding area, and to provide evidence for clinical application. Methods A total of 308 infants over 6 months of age were selected from Baoding Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2020 to January 2023, and their BMD was measured by ultrasound. The level of 25 (OH) D3 in subjects' blood was detected. spearman correlation test was used to analyze the correlation between infant bone mineral density and exclusive breastfeeding and calcium nutritional guidance during pregnancy, and logistics regression model was used to analyze the independent factors affecting infant bone mineral density. Results The level of serum 25 (OH) D3 in normal BMD group was significantly higher than that in abnormal BMD group (P<0.05). The rate of exclusive breastfeeding and the guidance rate of calcium nutrition during pregnancy in normal BMD group were significantly higher than those in abnormal BMD group (P<0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between different bone mineral density and exclusive breastfeeding and calcium nutrition guidance during pregnancy (P<0.05). Serum 25 (OH) D3 level, exclusive breastfeeding rate and calcium nutritional guideline rate during pregnancy were independent protective factors for bone mineral density (P<0.05). Conclusion Bone mineral density (BMD) of infants over 6 months of age is positively correlated with exclusive breastfeeding and calcium nutrition guidance during pregnancy, and exclusive breastfeeding and calcium nutrition guidance during pregnancy are independent protective factors affecting BMD of infants over 6 months of age.

BACKGROUND@#The brain is a common metastatic site in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), resulting in a relatively poor prognosis. Systemic therapy with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is recommended as the first-line treatment for EGFR -mutated, advanced NSCLC patients. However, intracranial activity varies in different drugs. Thus, brain metastasis (BM) should be considered when choosing the treatment regimens. We conducted this network meta-analysis to explore the optimal first-line therapeutic schedule for advanced EGFR -mutated NSCLC patients with different BM statuses.@*METHODS@#Randomized controlled trials focusing on EGFR-TKIs (alone or in combination) in advanced and EGFR -mutant NSCLC patients, who have not received systematic treatment, were systematically searched up to December 2021. We extracted and analyzed progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). A network meta-analysis was performed with the Bayesian statistical model to determine the survival outcomes of all included therapy regimens using the R software. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to compare intervention measures, and overall rankings of therapies were estimated under the Bayesian framework.@*RESULTS@#This analysis included 17 RCTs with 5077 patients and 12 therapies, including osimertinib + bevacizumab, aumolertinib, osimertinib, afatinib, dacomitinib, standards of care (SoC, including gefitinib, erlotinib, or icotinib), SoC + apatinib, SoC + bevacizumab, SoC + ramucirumab, SoC + pemetrexed based chemotherapy (PbCT), PbCT, and pemetrexed free chemotherapy (PfCT). For patients with BM, SoC + PbCT improved PFS compared with SoC (HR = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.17-0.95), and osimertinib + bevacizumab was most likely to rank first in PFS, with a cumulative probability of 34.5%, followed by aumolertinib, with a cumulative probability of 28.3%. For patients without BM, osimertinib + bevacizumab, osimertinib, aumolertinib, SoC + PbCT, dacomitinib, SoC + ramucirumab, SoC + bevacizumab, and afatinib showed superior efficacy compared with SoC (HR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.20-0.90; HR = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.31-0.68; HR = 0.51, 95% CI: 0.34-0.77; HR = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.38-0.66; HR = 0.62, 95% CI: 0.43-0.89; HR = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.44-0.94; HR = 0.61, 95% CI: 0.48-0.76; HR = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.50-1.00), PbCT (HR = 0.29, 95% CI: 0.11-0.74; HR = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.15-0.62; HR = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.17-0.69; HR = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.18-0.64; HR = 0.42, 95% CI: 0.21-0.82; HR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.22-0.87; HR = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.22-0.74; HR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.31-0.75), and PfCT (HR = 0.14, 95% CI: 0.06-0.32; HR = 0.15, 95% CI: 0.09-0.26; HR = 0.17, 95% CI: 0.09-0.29; HR = 0.16, 95% CI: 0.10-0.26; HR = 0.20, 95% CI: 0.12-0.35; HR = 0.21, 95% CI: 0.12-0.39; HR = 0.20, 95% CI: 0.12-0.31; HR = 0.23, 95% CI: 0.16-0.34) in terms of PFS. And, SoC + apatinib showed relatively superior PFS when compared with PbCT (HR = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.22-0.92) and PfCT (HR = 0.21, 95% CI: 0.12-0.39), but similar PFS to SoC (HR = 0.65, 95% CI: 0.42-1.03). No statistical differences were observed for PFS in patients without BM between PbCT and SoC (HR = 1.49, 95% CI: 0.84-2.64), but both showed favorable PFS when compared with PfCT (PfCT vs. SoC, HR = 3.09, 95% CI: 2.06-4.55; PbCT vs. PfCT, HR = 0.14, 95% CI: 0.06-0.32). For patients without BM, osimertinib + bevacizumab was most likely to rank the first, with cumulative probabilities of 47.1%. For OS, SoC + PbCT was most likely to rank first in patients with and without BM, with cumulative probabilities of 46.8%, and 37.3%, respectively.@*CONCLUSION@#Osimertinib + bevacizumab is most likely to rank first in PFS in advanced EGFR -mutated NSCLC patients with or without BM, and SoC + PbCT is most likely to rank first in OS.

Objective:To examine whether Butorphanol administered before Sufentanil can reduce hemodynamic fluctuations during the induction period in elderly patients.Methods:Sixty elderly patients with the American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA)Ⅱ-Ⅲ scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into two groups, with 30 patients in each group.Before anesthesia induction, patients in Group B were pretreated with Butorphanol(0.4 mg)and those in Group C were pretreated with the same volume of normal saline.Changes in blood pressure(MAP)and heart rate in the 15 min from the induction to the end of intubation were compared between the two groups.The incidences of adverse cardiovascular events requiring drug intervention and of cough during the induction period were recorded.The heart rate and blood pressure were standardized based on the mean value at 5 minutes after arterial puncture.Results:After pretreatment with Butorphanol, blood pressure experienced a less reduction in Group B than in Group C( P<0.05), and maintained at a higher level in the later period of induction( P<0.05); the decrease in heart rate was lower in Group B than in Group C( P<0.05), but the difference between the two groups was not significant in the later period of induction, while heart rate variability induced by intubation was higher in Group B than in Group C; the incidence of severe hypotension was lower in Group B than in Group C(3.3% vs.56.7%, χ2=20.23, P<0.0001); during the induction period, the incidence of cough was lower in Group B than in Group C(6.7% vs.43.4%, χ2=12.27, P=0.0005). Conclusions:Butorphanol pretreatment can reduce the incidence and severity of hypotension and the incidence of cough during the induction period in elderly patients.

Over the past several decades, advances in driven targeted therapy has revolutionized the management of oncogene-driven non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, there are only a few targeted drugs available for patients with rare mutations, such as BRAF, HER2, MET, RET, etc. In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have demonstrated promising benefit in NSCLC. Till now, efficacy of ICIs for NSCLC with rare mutation is largely unknown. It is fairly difficult to conduct a large formal prospective controlled trials because of the rarity of these mutation. In this article, currently available real world studies based on convincing clinical evidence will be reviewed, which will ultimately facilitate our rational use of ICIs for NSCLC with rare mutation. .

Treatments for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy represented by immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, the efficacy of monotherapy is still limited. Nowdays, combination strategy has drawn great attention. Anti-angiogenic agents are widely used in treating advanced NSCLC, which can not only suppress the growth and metastasis of tumor by suppressing tumor vessels, and also have synergic effect with other anti-tumor agents because they can normalize vessels and regulate immune micro-environment. This article summarizes the underlying mechanism of combining anti-angiogenic agents and other anti-tumor agents, reviews the clinical trials on the combination strategy including monoclonal antibodies and tyrosine kinase inhibitor, so as to provide a potential strategy for treating advanced NSCLC. .

Pulmonary large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) is a pathological subtype of lung neuroendocrine cancer, which accounts for 2.4%-3.1% in surgical specimens of lung cancer. It is characterized by high invasiveness and poor prognosis, and highly correlated with smoking. There are few relevant studies due to the low incidence and small sample size. Therefore, it is relatively difficult to diagnosis and treatment in clinical practice. In this review, we described molecular subtype, diagnostic and prognostic-related markers about large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of lung based on the recent progress in genomic sequencing and molecular markers, to find the direction for the next research. .

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of comprehensive treatment based on radiotherapy for patients with leptomeningeal metastases (LM) in this prospective study.Methods:A total of 93 patients diagnosed with LM admitted to our hospital undergoing whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) or craniospinal irradiation (CSI) with or without simultaneous boost from 2014 to 2017 were enrolled. The dynamic changes of clinical signs and symptoms, enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), cerebrospinal fluid cytology and liquid biopsy detection were recorded. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), the secondary endpoints were local control (LC), intracranial progress-free survival (IPFS), brain metastasis specific survival (BMSS) and toxicity.Results:The major primary disease was non-small cell lung cancer. The whole cohort received WBRT with boost (40 Gy in 20 fractions (f) for WBRT and 60 Gy in 20 f for boost), focal radiation to LM, WBRT and CSI (40 Gy in 20 f or 50 Gy in 25 f for WBRT and 36 Gy in 20 f for CSI). For 20 patients, tumor cells were identified and intrathecal chemotherapy was performed. Sixty-three patients received target therapy. The median follow-up time was 33.8 months. The 1-year OS, LC and IPFS was 62.4%, 77.2% and 52.6%, respectively. The median survival time was 15.9 months, and the median BMSS was 42.2 months. Treatment-related grade 3-4 adverse events were rare and only 8 cases was observed to have grade 3 hematological toxicity.Conclusion:Reasonable comprehensive treatment including precise radiotherapy, intrathecal chemotherapy and targeted therapy can be well tolerated and prolong the survival time of LM patients.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of the COMPASS-cancer associated thrombosis(COMPASS-CAT)risk assessment model and the modified Khorana risk assessment model for the risk of venous thromboembolism(VTE)in elderly patients with lung cancer.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 276 hospitalized lung cancer patients aged 60 years and over in the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College from March 2013 to March 2017.Patients were divided into the VTE group(n=39)and the non-VTE group(n=237). The COMPASS-CAT model and the modified Khorana model were used to evaluate the risk of venous thromboembolism in the two groups.The sensitivity, specificity and Youden index of the two models were calculated.The receiver-operating characteristics(ROC)curves of the two evaluation models were drawn.The predictive effect and influence of two evaluation models on VTE risk in elderly lung cancer patients were compared by using Medcalc software analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Results:The incidence of VTE was 14.13%(39/276). The sensitivity, specificity, Youden index and the AUC under ROC curves of the COMPASS-CAT model and the modified Khorana model were 0.718 and 0.795, 0.861 and 0.527, 0.524 and 0.348, and 0.789 and 0.661, respectively.Using the Medcalc software to compare the two models, the area under the curve of the COMPASS-CAT risk assessment model was increased by 0.128, compared with the modified Khorana model( Z=2.676, P=0.0075). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that COMPASS-CAT≥7 points and Khorana≥2 points were independent risk factors for VTE in elderly patients with lung cancer( P<0.05). Conclusions:The modified Khorana model can predict the risk of VTE in elderly patients with lung cancer, but the accuracy of prediction is low.The COMPASS-CAT model has a higher predictive value for VTE risk assessment than the modified Khorana model and is more suitable for elderly patients with lung cancer.

Sixty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ male patients aged 45-65 yrs undergoing general anesthesia in Chenzhou First People′s Hospital from May to September 2019 were randomly divided into two groups with 30 cases in each. Before the recover from anesthesia, patients in group L were irrigated with 100 mg lidocaine and 20 ml normal saline through the urinary catheter, while those in group C were irrigated with 20 ml normal saline in the same way. After irrigation, the catheter was clamped for 5 min and then released. The of urination intention when patient is conscious was observed and urethral irritation score was assessed. The cases of unconscious catheter grasping behavior, catheter-related restlessness and the need for rescued medication were compared between two groups. Compared to group C, group L had lower urinary intention rate (3.3%), lower urethral irritation score (1.94±0.15), lower rate of unconscious catheter grasping (6%), lower incidence of catheter agitation (0) and remedial medication (0). It is suggested that bladder irrigation with lidocaine before anesthesia recovery can reduce the symptoms of catheter-related irritation.

Standard treatment for resectable IIIa/N2 non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still under debate. Optional treatments include chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery, other options include target therapy and immunotherapy. Multidisciplinary treatment has therefore been emphasized by various clinical trials, including bimodality strategy which has been defined as chemotherapy plus surgery or chemotherapy plus radiotherapy, and trimodality treatment which refers to chemotherapy plus surgery and radiotherapy. However, there is still no consensus on the optimal strategy on treating resectable IIIa/N2 NSCLC. Therefore, we reviewed a series of phase II and III clinical trials as well as some meta-analyses and case reports to compare the efficacy of different strategies on survival of cN2 NSCLC, and concluded that for resectable IIIa/N2 NSCLC surgery is recommended, and that strategy of chemotherapy plus surgery may not achieve better survival than that of chemotherapy plus radiotherapy. Size of tumor as well as lymph nodes should be taken into account when choosing optimal therapy, so that promising individualized strategy could be given to patients with resectable stage IIIa/N2 NSCLC. .

Objective@#To investigate the effect of inflammatory stimulation on the biological function of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and its mechanism.@*Methods@#Under sterile condition, 40-60 ml cord blood of normal full-term caesarean section was taken, and the cells were separated by Ficoll Hypaque gradient centrifugation. After 24 hours of conventional culture, the cells were divided into 4 groups: C group (control group), LPSL group, LPSM group and LPSH group. Group C was added with complete culture medium. Group LPSL, group LPSM and group LPSH were added with equal amount of culture medium containing 12.5, 25, 50 μg/ml lipopolysaccharides (LPS) respectively. The effects of different concentrations of LPS on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells were observed.@*Results@#After incubation for 24 and 48 hours, the proliferation activity of MSCs in LPSL, LPSM and LPSH groups was higher than that in group C (P<0.05), and the proliferation ability of MSCs induced by low dose LPS for 48 h was the strongest (P<0.05). With the increase of culture time, the expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) protein in the four groups increased gradually. The expression of NF-κB and TLR4 protein in the LPSL, LPSM and LPSH groups were higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). With the increase of LPS concentration, the expression of NF-κB and TLR4 protein increased gradually, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and calcium nodule number in LPSL, LPSM and LPSH group were higher than those in group C; ALP activity and calcium nodule number in LPSM group were higher than those in LPSH group; ALP activity and calcium nodule number in LPSL group were higher than those in LPSM and LPSH, group with statistically significant difference (P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#Inflammatory response can stimulate the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. Low concentration of LPS may be an ideal factor for the osteogenic differentiation of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. It has certain significance and application prospect in the actual clinical disease treatment, but the detailed mechanism of action and whether the effect of lower dose is better still to be further studied.

Objective@#To investigate the efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR TKIs) on patients with lung adenosquamous carcinoma, and to analyze relative factors.@*Methods@#From August 2007 to July 2017, 40 patients who were pathologically diagnosed as lung adenosquamous carcinoma in our hospital and received EGFR TKIs treatment were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent EGFR mutation detection, resulted in 11 wild type, 13 19Del, 13 21L858R mutations, and 3 uncommon EGFR mutations in 20 exon and 19/21 complex mutation. A higher frequency of EGFR mutation was found in non-smokers and patients with adenocarcinoma components over 50.0%.@*Results@#Twenty-six (65.0%) patients had disease progression after EGFR TKIs treatment, with a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 5.5 months (95% CI 0.52-10.49 months). A total of 20 (50.0%) patients died with an median overall survival (OS) of 15 months (95% CI 11.03-18.97 months). Multivariate analysis showed that gender, age, smoking, histopathological subtypes, EGFR mutations, and brain metastasis had no influence on PFS (all P>0.05). Gender, age, smoking, histopathological subtypes, and the presence of brain metastasis during TKI treatment had no influence on OS (P>0.05), while EGFR mutation is the only influencing factor of OS (P<0.05) in the current study.@*Conclusions@#EGFR TKIs had modest efficacy in lung adenosquamous carcinoma, especially in patients with EGFR mutation. Based on the pathological features, EGFR mutation and EGFR TKIs treatment should be introduced into the routine clinical practice to improve the survival of patients with lung adenosquamous carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate whether an early change in 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake can predict tumor response to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) and prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods From August 2009 to April 2015, 22 patients with NSCLC who were eligible to EGFR-TKI treatment were enrolled. PET-CT scan was performed before (baseline) and 1 month after EGFR-TKI administration. Up to 5 hottest single tumor lesions (no more than 2 per organ) were considered to be target lesions. Maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) were measured, and post-treatment percentage changes in SUVmax (ΔSUV%) were calculated. PET responses were classified using PET response criteria in solid tumors (PERCIST). Then conventional CT scan was performed every 2 months for follow-up. Kappa statistic was used to compare agreement between the RERCIST recommendations-based therapeutic response evaluation and those based on RECIST1.1 criteria. Fisher exact test was used to compare the probability of disease progression in the early metabolic response and non-response groups. Predictive accuracy of ΔSUV% with respect to response or non-progression at CT scan was evaluated by ROC analysis. Progression-free survival (PFS) was determined by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, and between-group comparison was performed by log-rank test. Results After 1 month of EGFR-TKI treatment, 12 patients (55%) showed partial metabolic response (PMR), 6 (27%) had stable metabolic disease (SMD), and 4 (18%) had progressive metabolic disease (PMD). There was a moderate agreement(Kappa=0.506,P<0.05) between PET response at 1 month based on PERCIST recommendations and CT response at 3 months according to RECIST 1.1. Non-progression was significantly more frequent in patients with an early PMR (χ2=11.941, P=0.005). Progression had been confirmed later during therapy in all patients with PMD . By using ROC analysis, the area under the curve for prediction of response was 0.906 (95% CI, 0.766—1.000; P=0.002), corresponding to a sensitivity of 88.9% and specificity of 84.6% at a cut-off of 40.36% in ΔSUV%. Using a cut-off value of 25.84% in ΔSUV%, highΔSUV% group (ΔSUV% ≥ 25.84%) had significantly longer PFS than low ΔSUV% group (ΔSUV%<25.84%). Conclusion Early assessment of PET-CT at 1 month of EGFR-TKI treatment could be useful to predict tumor response and clinical outcome in patients with NSCLC.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Significant advancements have been observed in the thera-py for non-small celllung cancer (NSCLC). With constant extension of new awareness regarding the histopathology of lung cancer, ho-mologous chemotherapeutic regimens have been developed on the basis of histopathological sub-typing methods. With developments in molecular biology, driving gene mutations during tumorigenesis and progression have been discovered. A series of targeted drugs for various molecular subtypes has also been investigated and developed on the basis of these mutations. This review summarizes recently published clinical outcomes on the management of advanced NSCLC and strategies to apply drugs in clinical treatments.

OBJECTIVE@#To study the feasibility of ultrasonic molecular imaging of immediately blood-mediated inflammatory reaction (IBMIR) in vitro. @*METHODS@#IBMIR models in vitro were divided into 3 groups: Group A, no microbubbles were added; Group B, non-targeted micro-bubbles were added; Group C, Lys-Gly-Asp-Ser (KGDS)-targeted microbubbles (MBK) were added. The ultrasonic enhancement of IBMIR in loops by ultrasonic contrast imaging was evaluated. @*RESULTS@#The contrast-enhanced US imaging did not show thrombus formation in the group A, whereas the thrombus was found in the Group B and C with a change in filling defects or ring enhancement, respectively. The time for detecting thrombosis was (7.3 ± 0.5) min and (13.2 ± 0.6) min in Group B and Group C, respectively (P<0.05). The average-gray scales of thrombus in Group B and Group C were 31.22 ± 3.56 and 75.85 ± 5.21, respectively (P<0.05). The fluorescence microscope also showed that MBK was attached to thrombus surrounding islets. @*CONCLUSION@#IBMIR model in vitro showed that KGDS-targeted ultrasound contrast agent could adhere to thrombus shell surrounding islets and molecular target ultrasonography could image these thrombi noninvasively and effectively.
