Efectividad y seguridad de la vacuna tetravalente TAK-003 contra el dengue: una revisión sistemática / Effectiveness and safety of the tetravalent TAK-003 dengue vaccine: a systematic review

Resumen En Argentina, el virus del dengue ha experimentado un aumento en los últimos años. Este estudio se propone realizar una revisión sistemática para evaluar la efec tividad y seguridad de la vacuna TAK-003 tetravalente contra el dengue en este contexto. Se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática de ensayos clínicos controlados aleatorizados que comparaban la efectividad y seguridad de la vacuna con placebo en la población general. La búsqueda se efectuó en Episte monikos y dos investigadores evaluaron los estudios de manera independiente. El riesgo de sesgo se evaluó con la herramienta Rob 2 de Cochrane. Se realizó un metaa nálisis de los resultados y la certeza en la evidencia se evaluó mediante la metodología GRADE. Concluimos, con alta certeza de evidencia, que la vacuna tetravalente contra el dengue reduce las infec ciones graves (RR 0.17, IC 95% 0.12 a 0.24) e infecciones por el virus del dengue (RR 0.40, IC 95% 0.36 a 0.45) en una población de ≤17 años. La vacuna podría no incre mentar el riesgo de eventos adversos serios, aunque es importante destacar la baja certeza de evidencia (RR 1.04, IC 95%: 0.69-1.55). La aplicación de la vacuna tetravalente contra el dengue disminuye el riesgo de infecciones graves y no graves por el dengue en esa población. No obstante, existe baja certeza en la evidencia en relación a la se guridad de la vacuna. La decisión de la vacunación debe considerar la magnitud de los beneficios en función del riesgo de infección.

Abstract In Argentina, the dengue virus has experienced an increase in recent years. This study aims to conduct a systematic review to assess the effectiveness and safety of the tetravalent dengue vaccine TAK-003 in this context. A systematic review of randomized controlled clini cal trials comparing the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine with a placebo in the general population was conducted. The search was carried out on Epistemoni kos, and two investigators independently evaluated the studies. Bias risk was assessed using Cochrane's Rob 2 tool. A meta-analysis of the results was performed, and the certainty of evidence was evaluated using the GRADE methodology. We concluded, with high certainty of evidence, that the tetravalent dengue vaccine reduces severe infections (RR 0.17, 95% CI 0.12 to 0.24) and infections by the den gue virus (RR 0.40, 95% CI 0.36 to 0.45) in a population aged ≤17 years. The vaccine may not increase the risk of serious adverse events, although it is important to note the low certainty of evidence (RR 1.04, 95% CI: 0.69-1.55). The use of the tetravalent dengue vaccine decreases the risk of severe and non-severe dengue infections in this population. However, there is low certainty of evidence regarding the vaccine's safety. The decision to vaccinate should consider the magnitude of benefits relative to the risk of infection.

Efectividad de Plasma Rico en Fibrina en Lesiones de Osteonecrosis de los Maxilares Asociada a Medicamentos: Resumen Estructurado de Evidencia (FRISBEE)

Introducción: Este trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo evaluar y determinar la efectividad del uso de plasma rico en fibrina (PRF) como tratamiento para las lesiones de osteonecrosis de los maxilares asociadas a medicamentos (MRONJ). Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda en Epistemonikos, la mayor base de datos de revisiones sistemáticas en salud, la cual es mantenida mediante el cribado de múltiples fuentes de información, incluyendo MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, entre otras. Extrajimos los datos desde las revisiones identificadas, analizamos los datos de los estudios primarios y preparamos una tabla de resumen de los resultados utilizando el método GRADE. Resultados y conclusiones: Se identificaron siete revisiones sistemáticas que en conjunto incluyeron 14 estudios primarios, de los cuales, solamente uno corresponde a un ensayo clínico aleatorizado, y el resto a estudios observacionales. No es seguro establecer con claridad si el uso de PRF mejora o contribuye a la resolución de lesiones de osteonecrosis de los maxilares asociados a medicamentos, debido a que el nivel de certeza de la evidencia es muy bajo.

Tumor maligno de la vaina nerviosa periférica: reporte de un caso / Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, a case report

Resumen El tumor maligno de la vaina nerviosa periférica (TMVNP) es un sarcoma de alto grado de malignidad. Es poco frecuente, agresivo y generalmente se localiza en tronco y miembros inferiores. Se presenta mayormente en pacientes con neurofibormatosis tipo 1, aunque no siempre se encuentra esta asociación. Este tumorcomparte características histológicas e inmunohistoquímicas con el melanoma, lo que puede dificultar el diagnóstico. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con TMVNP, en el cual los hallazgos histológicos iniciales condujeron a un diagnósticoerróneode melanoma.

Abstract Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a high-grade sarcoma. It is rare, aggressive and generally located on the trunk and lower limbs. It occurs in a high percentage of patients with neurofibormatosis type 1, although this association is not always found. This tumor shares histological and immunohistochemical characteristics with melanoma, which can make diagnosis difficult. We present the case of a patient with MPNST, in whom the initial histological findings led to an erroneous diagnosis of melanoma.

Intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics based on diffusion weighted imaging for predicting histological grade of breast cancer / 中国介入影像与治疗学

Objective To observe the value of intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics based on diffusion weighted imaging(DWI)for predicting histological grade of breast cancer.Methods Preoperative DWI data of 700 patients with single breast cancer diagnosed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into training set(n= 560,including 381 of grade Ⅰ+Ⅱ and 179 of grade Ⅲ)and test set(n=140,including 95 of grade Ⅰ+Ⅱ and 45 of grade Ⅲ)at the ratio of 8∶2.Intratumoral ROI(ROIintra)was manually delineated on DWI,which was automatically expanded by 3 mm and 5 mm to decline peritumoral ROI(ROIperi,including ROI3 mm and ROI5 mm),then intratumoral-peritumoral ROI(ROIintra+3 mm,ROIintra+5 mm)were obtained.The optimal radiomics features were extracted and screened,and the radiomics model(RM)for predicting the histological grade of breast cancer were constructed.Receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn,and the areas under the curve(AUC)were calculated to evaluate the predictive efficacy of each model.Calibration curve method was used to evaluate the calibration degree,while decision curve analysis(DCA)was performed to explore the clinical practicability of each model.Results AUC of RMintra,RM+3 mm,RM+5mm,RMintra+3 mm and RMintra+5 mm was 0.750,0.724,0.749,0.833 and 0.807 in training set,while was 0.723,0.718,0.736,0.759 and 0.782 in test set,respectively.In training set,significant differences of AUC was found(all P＜0.01),while in test set,no significant difference of AUC was found among models(all P＞0.05).The calibrations of models were all high.DCA showed that taken 0.02-0.88 as the threshold,the clinical net benefit of RMintra+per were greater in training set,while taken 0.40-0.72 as the threshold,the clinical net benefit of RMintra+per was greater in test set.Conclusion Both DWI intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics could effectively predict histological grade of breast cancer.Combination of intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics was more effective.

The value of six tumor markers in preoperative diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of advanced serous ovarian cancer / 中国医师杂志

Objective:To explore the diagnostic and prognostic value of six tumor markers, namely carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), alpha fetoprotein (AFP), carbohydrate antigen 153 (CA153), carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199), and carbohydrate antigen 724 (CA724), in the pathological types of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the preoperative tumor markers and clinical pathological data of 131 EOC patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University from January 2010 to May 2022, and follow-up was conducted. Patients were divided into high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) group and other groups (mucinous cancer, endometrioid carcinoma, clear cell carcinoma, mixed carcinoma) according to pathological type and tumor grade. We investigated the correlation between the levels of six tumor markers and the pathological types of EOC. By drawing receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and comparing the area under the curve (AUC), we also investigated the diagnostic value of single and combined detection of six tumor markers for the pathological types of EOC. K-M survival analysis was used to explore the impact of tumor markers on patient prognosis.Results:The levels of CA125 and CA153 in the HGSOC group were significantly higher than those in other pathological groups ( Z=-2.571, -5.416, all P<0.05); CA153 had good diagnostic performance for HGSOC (AUC=0.777), and the combined detection of CA125+ CA153, CA153+ AFP, CA153+ CA199, CA153+ CA724, CA153+ CE had better diagnostic performance than the single detection of CA125 and CA153 (AUC=0.781, 0.784, 0.809, 0.803, 0.773). Among them, the combined detection of CA125, CA153, and CA199 had the best diagnostic performance (AUC=0.816, Youden′s index 0.532); the elevated levels of CA153 and CA153+ CA199 indicated poor recurrence free survival (PFS) in patients (all P<0.05), while the elevated levels of CA153+ CA199 was an independent risk factor for recurrence in patients ( P=0.022); the elevated levels of CA153+ CA199 and CA125+ CA153+ CA199 indicated poorer OS in patients (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The serum levels of CA125 and CA153 are elevated in patients with HGSOC. Elevated levels of CA153, CA153+ CA199, and CA125+ CA153+ CA199 are associated with poor prognosis in patients. The combined detection of CA125, CA153, and CA199 has the best diagnostic efficacy and can serve as a potential biomarker for assisting in the diagnosis of HGSOC and evaluating patient prognosis.

Objective To construct the performance evaluation index system of head nurses in tertiary grade A hospitals in Heilongjiang Province,in order to provide reference for clinical nursing management.Methods Through literature analysis and theoretical research,the framework and content of performance evaluation index system for head nurses in tertiary grade A hospitals in Heilongjiang Province were preliminarily established,and two rounds of expert letters were conducted by Delphi method,and finally the performance evaluation index system for head nurses in tertiary grade A hospitals in Heilongjiang Province was established.Results The evaluation index system of head nurses'performance in a tertiary grade A hospital in Heilongjiang Province included 5 first-class indicators,14 second-class indicators and 49 third-class indicators,and the expert consultation was highly reliable.Conclusion The construction of the performance evaluation index system for head nurses in tertiary hospitals in Heilongjiang Province can not only provide reference for nursing managers and researchers at all levels of medical institutions in the province,but also provide practical guidance for head nurses to improve their own nursing management level.

Transumbilical Single-port Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy by Conventional Instruments Without Uterine-lifting / 中国微创外科杂志

Objective To investigate the application value of transumbilical single-port total laparoscopic hysterectomy by conventional instrument without uterine-lifting in the treatment of cervical lesions.Methods We selected 60 cases of total laparoscopic hysterectomy due to cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(HSIL)or cervical cancer stage ⅠA1 from December 2021 to June 2023.According to the patients'preference,30 cases of single-port laparoscopy through the umbilicus and 30 cases of multi-port laparoscopy were performed,both using conventional instruments without uterine-lifting.The surgical indicators of the two groups were compared.Results No conversion to open surgery occurred in both groups,and no intraoperative injuries to the urinary system,bowel,or major blood vessels occurred.As compared with the multi-port group,the single-port group had significantly reduced amount of bleeding during surgery[(54.6±20.5)ml vs.(67.5±27.0)ml,P = 0.041],earlier anal exhaust time[(27.6±8.0)h vs.(32.2±9.0)h,P =0.040],and shorter total hospitalization time[(4.4±1.5)d vs.(5.1±1.2)d,P = 0.044].There were no significant differences in uterine weight,surgical time,and postoperative complications between the two group(P>0.05).The healing of the abdominal wall puncture wounds in both groups of patients were satisfied.There were no short-term complications related to the puncture device(such as puncture wound infection and bleeding)or long-term complications(such as umbilical hernia and incisional hernia).Conclusion Transumbilical single-port total laparoscopic hysterectomy without uterine-lifting presents advantages of less intraoperative bleeding,faster postoperative recovery,and almost no scarring,with complications similar to traditional laparoscopic surgery.

New Advances in the Use of 18F-FET PET in the Diagnosis and Management of Adult High-Grade Gliomas / 罕见病研究

Gliomas are the most common primary intracranial tumors in adults, among which high-grade glioma patients are characterized by short survival and poor prognosis. The diagnosis, treatment, evaluation of effective treatments, and prognosis prediction of high-grade gliomas are of great significance for improving patient survival. Conventional enhanced magnetic resonance imaging has deficiencies in delineating tumor extent, identifying tumor progression and treatment-related changes. Therefore, there is a broad consensus to incorporate amino acid PET, and 18F-FET PET inparticular, into the diagnostic and therapeutic process of high-grade gliomas. In this article, we review the new research progress of 18F-FET PET in the diagnosis and treatment of adult high-grade glioma in recent years.

@#Atypical cartilaginous tumor (ACT) refers to a low-grade cartilaginous neoplasm microscopically identical to grade 1 chondrosarcoma, affecting the appendicular skeleton. Treatment with intralesional curettage has been found to provide sufficient local control with less morbidity compared to wide resection. This is the first reported case of a simultaneous medial patello-femoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction with extended curettage for ACT on the ipsilateral femur. A 45-year-old female presented with chronic recurrent patellar dislocation of the right knee. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tear of the MPFL, with an incidental epi-metaphyseal chondroid lesion. After biopsy confirmed an ACT, single-stage extended curettage using freezing nitrogen ethanol composite (FNEC) and MPFL reconstruction was performed, followed by augmentation with bone cement and a distal femoral plate. Currently, the patient is independently ambulatory, with full range of motion about the knee. Following histologic confirmation of an ACT in the setting of a concurrent MCL tear, a single-stage procedure to address both conditions is a viable option that can reduce complications associated with multiple surgeries. Extended curettage using FNEC has been shown to produce good short-term oncologic outcomes while maximizing function.

Differential expression of FAM83A and β-catenin in cervical lesions / 安徽医科大学学报

Objective @# To investigate the expression difference and potential clinical significance of 83 sequence similar member A (FAM83A) and β-catenin in cervical lesions．@*Methods @#ALCAN and GEPIA2. 0 online data- bases were used to analyze the difference of FAM83A expression in normal cervix and cervical squamous cell carci- noma ( CSCC) and the relationship between FAM83A expression and the prognosis of CSCC patients，LinkedOmics database was used to analyze FAM83A mRNA co-expression genes，and R language was used for KEGG enrichment analysis．Immunohistochemistry was used to detect FAM83A and β-catenin expression in 60 cases of normal cervix， 80 cases of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion ( LSIL) ，90 cases of high-grade squamous intraepithelial le- sion (HSIL) and 70 cases of cervical squamous cell carcinoma ( CSCC) ．The relationship between FAM83A ，β - catenin expression and clinicopathological features and the correlation between FAM83A and β-catenin expression were analyzed. @*Results @# UALCAN database analysis showed that FAM83A was highly expressed in CSCC tissues， and GEPIA 2. 0 database analysis suggested that those with high FAM83A expression had a poor prognosis．Linke- dOmics database performing KEGG enrichment analysis suggested that expression of FAM83A was positively correla- ted with aberrant activation of Wnt / β-catenin signaling pathway． The expression rate of FAM83A in CSCC was higher than that in LSIL and normal cervical tissues (P＜0. 001) ，but there was no significant difference compared with HSIL (P = 0. 401) ; the expression of FAM83A was not correlated with age (P = 0. 231) ，but was significant- ly different from the correlation with differentiation (P = 0. 001) and clinical stage (P = 0. 038) ．The abnormal ex- pression rate of β-catenin in CSCC was higher than that in LSIL and normal cervical tissues (P＜0. 001) ，but there was no significant difference compared with HSIL (P = 0. 734) ; the expression of β-catenin was not related to age (P = 0. 088) ，related to differentiation (P = 0. 001) and clinical stage (P＜0. 001) ，and FAM83A was positively correlated with β-catenin expression (P ＜0. 05 ) ．@*Conclusion @#FAM83A and β-catenin are highly expressed in both HSIL and CSCC tissues，and there is a positive correlation between the expression of FAM83A and β-catenin. The high expression of FAM83A has some correlation with the prognosis of CSCC patients and can be used as a po- tential marker to determine the prognosis of CSCC.
