Effects of multiple shared decision-making mode on the mode of delivery for pregnancies with scarred uterus / 实用医学杂志

Objective To explore the effects of the multiple shared decision-making mode using a decision aid manual in conjunction with online labor and delivery decision support on the delivery mode for pregnant women with a scarred uterus.Methods A total of 94 women with scarred uterus who received prenatal care at a tertiary hospital from September 2019 to October 2022 were enrolled and assigned to experimental and control groups using the random number table method.The control group received standard prenatal education,and the experimental group received multiple shared decision-making interventions in addition to standard prenatal education.The degree of conflict in decision-making for delivery,preference for delivery mode,postpartum decision regret,and the final delivery mode between the two groups were compared,respectively.Results Following the multiple shared deci-sion intervention,decision conflict scores in the experimental group were significantly reduced(P<0.001).In the survey on delivery mode preferences,there was a reduction in the number of individuals in the experimental group expressing"uncertainty",and an increase in those choosing vaginal delivery.Ultimately,in the experimental group,30 women(68.2%)underwent cesarean sections,and 14(31.8%)had vaginal deliveries.The level of post-decision regret in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.001).Conclusions Multiple shared decision-making for women pregnant with a scarred uterus could reduce the level of decision-making conflict,increase the willingness for vaginal delivery,and assist them in making rational and scientifically informed decisions regarding childbirth.

Effects of helium-oxygen mechanical ventilation on inflammatory response of diseased lung segments and diaphragm function in patients with pneumonia / 中华危重病急救医学

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of helium-oxygen mechanical ventilation on inflammation of the diseased lung segment and diaphragm function in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by pneumonia who suffered difficulty weaning from mechanical ventilation.Methods:A prospective controlled study was conducted. A total of 40 patients with ARDS caused by pneumonia and requiring tracheal intubation with difficulty weaning from mechanical ventilation, admitted to the department of critical care medicine in Pingtan Branch of Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from October 2020 to December 2021 were enrolled. Patients were divided into nitrogen oxygen ventilation group and helium-oxygen ventilation group according to random number table, with 20 cases in each group. The nitrogen oxygen ventilation group was given 60% nitrogen and 40% oxygen ventilation treatment, and the helium-oxygen ventilation group was given 60% helium and 40% oxygen ventilation treatment. Peak airway pressure (Ppeak), plateau airway pressure (Pplat), tidal volume (V T), minute ventilation volume (MV) and pulse oxygen saturation (SpO 2) were collected at 0, 1, 2, 3 hours after ventilation treatment. At the same time, the concentrations of inflammatory factors interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in epithelial lining fluid in patients with diseased lung segments were measured before and after ventilation treatment for 3 hours, and the diaphragmatic excursion and the diaphragmatic thickening fraction were measured before and after ventilation treatment for 3 hours. Results:There were no significant differences in gender, age, oxygenation index, serum CRP, serum procalcitonin (PCT), body temperature, serum creatinine (SCr), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), fasting blood glucose (FPG), hemoglobin (Hb), and basic heart and lung diseases between the two groups. Under the condition that V T and SpO 2 are relatively unchanged, the airway pressure in helium-oxygen ventilation group decreased significantly after 1 hour of ventilation [Ppeak (cmH 2O, 1 cmH 2O≈0.098 kPa): 22.80±4.47 vs. 28.00±5.07, Pplat (cmH 2O): 19.15±3.90 vs. 23.20±3.81, both P < 0.05], and the airway pressure in the nitrogen oxygen ventilation group increased significantly after 1 hour [Ppeak (cmH 2O): 22.35±2.13 vs. 19.75±1.94, Pplat (cmH 2O): 18.50±1.70 vs. 16.50±1.88, both P < 0.05]. There were no significant differences in CRP and IL-6 levels in epithelial lining fluid in the diseased lung segment before and after ventilation in the nitrogen oxygen ventilation group, while the levels of these indexes in the helium-oxygen ventilation group after ventilation were significantly lower than those before ventilation, and significantly lower than those in the nitrogen oxygen ventilation group [CRP (mg/L): 10.15 (6.39, 15.84) vs. 16.10 (11.63, 18.66), IL-6 (μg/L): 1.15 (0.78, 1.86) vs. 2.67 (1.67, 4.85), both P < 0.05]. There were no statistically significant differences in the diaphragmatic excursion and the diaphragmatic thickening fraction before and after ventilation in the nitrogen oxygen ventilation group, while the above indexes in the helium-oxygen ventilation group were significantly higher than those before ventilation, and were significantly higher than those in the nitrogen oxygen ventilation group [diaphragmatic excursion (cm): 1.93 (1.69, 2.20) vs. 1.34 (1.22, 1.83), diaphragmatic thickening fraction: (48.22±8.61)% vs. (33.29±11.04)%, both P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Helium-oxygen ventilation can reduce the airway pressure of patients with mechanical ventilation, alleviate the inflammatory response of lung segment, improve the function of respiratory muscle, and is expected to be an important treatment for severe lung rehabilitation.

Clinical characteristics and influencing factors for survival of patients with epithelioid glioblastoma / 中华神经医学杂志

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with epithelioid glioblastoma (ep-GBM) and their influencing factors for survival.Methods:Sixteen ep-GBM patients admitted to Department of Neurosurgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2015 to March 2022 were chosen. Clinical data such as age, gender, maximum tumor diameter, degrees of tumor resection, treatments, and immunohistochemical staining-related indexes were obtained. Survival curves of the patients were plotted by Kaplan-Meier method, and differences of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) among patients with different clinical characteristics were compared. Log-rank test was used to compare the survival rates, and Cox proportional risk regression model was constructed to analyze the influencing factors for PFS and OS.Results:In these 16 patients, median OS was 11.8 months and median PFS was 7.0 months. Significant differences in PFS and OS were noted between groups of age<32 years and age≥32 years, between groups of maximum tumor diameter<4.8 cm and diameter≥4.8 cm, and between groups of positive p53 expression and negative p53 expression ( P<0.05). Log-rank test indicated that OS and PFS ratios were significantly different between groups of age<32 years and age≥32 years, between groups of maximum tumor diameter<4.8 cm and diameter≥4.8 cm, between S100 positive group and S100 negative group, between Olig-2 positive group and Olig-2 negative group, and between groups of positive p53 expression and negative p53 expression ( P<0.05). Cox proportional hazard regression model showed that age ( HR=1.070, 95% CI: 1.013-1.134, P=0.016), preoperative maximum tumor diameter ( HR=2.150, 95% CI: 1.142-4.055, P=0.018) and Olig-2 expression ( HR=0.040, 95% CI: 0.003-0.498, P=0.013) had influences in PFS; preoperative maximum tumor diameter ( HR=2.350, 95%CI: 1.149-4.798, P=0.019) and Olig-2 expression ( HR=0.080, 95% CI: 0.007-0.972, P=0.047) had influences in OS. Conclusion:Older ep-GBM patients are prone to progress after surgery; ep-GBM patients with larger tumor diameter and negative Olig-2 expression likely progress and have poor prognosis after surgery.

A consensus on the management of allergy in kindergartens and primary schools / 中国学校卫生

Abstract@#Allergic diseases can occur in all systems of the body, covering the whole life cycle, from children to adults and to old age, can be lifelong onset and even fatal in severe cases. Children account for the largest proportion of the victims of allergic disease, Children s allergies start from scratch, ranging from mild to severe, from less to more, from single to multiple systems and systemic performance, so the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in children is of great importance, which can not only prevent high risk allergic conditions from developing into allergic diseases, but also further block the process of allergy. At present, there is no consensus on the management system of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools. The "Consensus on Allergy Management and Prevention in Kindergartens and Primary Schools", which includes the organizational structure, system construction and management of allergic children, provides evidence informed recommendations for the long term comprehensive management of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools, and provides a basis for the establishment of the prevention system for allergic children.

Prediction of epitope region and preparation of mouse polyclonal antibody of human Shisa-like protein 1(SHISAL1) / 细胞与分子免疫学杂志

Objective To investigate antigen optimization of Shisa like protein 1 (SHISAL1) for preparing mouse anti-human SHISAL1 polyclonal antibody and to identify the specificity of the prepared antibody. Methods Bioinformatics was employed to predict the antigenic epitope region of SHISAL1 protein, and then a polypeptide composed of amino acid residues from the site of 28 to 97 of SHISAL1, termed SHISAL1-N, was selected as the antigen. The coding region of SHISAL1-N was cloned by molecular cloning technique, and then it was inserted into pET-28a to generate pET28a-SHISAL1-N recombinant plasmid. The two recombinant plasmids pET28a-SHISAL1-N and pET28a-SHISAL1 were transformed into BL21 (DE3) bacteria and induced to express by IPTG. The two proteins were purified and immunized to female Kunming mice, respectively. The specificities and sensitivities of the acquired antibodies were detected by Western blot analysis, immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescent cytochemical staining. Results pET28a-SHISAL1-N recombinant plasmid was successfully constructed, and the two fused proteins, SHISAL1 and SHISAL1-N, were induced to express. Moreover, two types of SHISAL1 mouse polyclonal antibodies, derived from SHISAL1-N and SHISAL1 antigens, were obtained. Western blot results showed that the antibody prepared from SHISAL1 antigen was less specific and sensitive compared with the antibody prepared from SHISAL1-N antigen which could specifically identify different endogenous SHISAL1 protein. Immunoprecipitation results showed that SHISAL1-N antibody could specifically pull down SHIISAL1 protein in hepatocellular carcinoma cells and immunofluorescence results demonstrated that SHISAL1-N antibody could specifically bind to SHISAL1 protein in the cytoplasm. Conclusion We have optimized the SHISAL1 antigen and prepared the mouse anti-human SHISAL1 polyclonal antibodies successfully, which can be used for Western blot analysis, immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence cytochemical staining.

Mechanosensitive ion channel PIEZO1 promotes glioma invasion and aggression by regulating Yes-associated protein / 中华神经医学杂志

Objective:To investigate the molecular mechanism of PIEZO1 in promoting the invasion and aggression of glioma via Yes-associated protein (YAP) delivering mechanical signals.Methods:(1) Specimen detection: specimens from 94 patients accepted glioma resection in our hospital from February 2015 to March 2017 were chosen; immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the PIEZO1 expression in these glioma tissues of different grades. (2) Cell experiment: human glioma cell lines U87 and U251 were cultured under different matrix; the expressions of PIEZO1 and YAP were detected by immunofluorescent staining, and the PIEZO1 protein expression was detected by Western blotting. (3) Cell experiment after lentivirus transfection: the U87 and U251 cells were divided into negative control group and sh-PIEZO1 group according to the presence or lack of shRNA lentivirus vector; the role of PIEZO1 in glioma proliferation and invasion was detected by clone formation assay, proliferation and invasion assay, and Western blotting; after PIEZO1 silencing, Western blotting was used to detect the expressions of mechanical signal pathway proteins, YAP, FAK, and β1-integrin; real time-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expressions of CTGF and CYR61, which were downstream target genes of YAP; immunofluorescent staining was used to detect the YAP expression after PIEZO1 silencing. Results:(1) The PIEZO1 expression in glioma specimens increased with glioma grading, and the PIEZO1 expression in IDH wild-type patients was higher than that in IDH mutant patients. (2) The PIEZO1 and YAP expressions increased with the increase of matrix stiffness; as compared with that in the 0.2 kPa group, the PIEZO1 protein expression in stromal cultured cells of 16 and 64 kPa groups was significantly increased ( P<0.05). (3) After PIEZO1 silencing, U87 cells became large and tentacles increased, while U251 cells were mostly with long fusiform; as compared with those in the negative control group, the number of cell clones, and the proliferation rate and invasive cell count at each time point in the sh-PIEZO1 group were significantly smaller/decreased ( P<0.05); as compared with those in the negative control group, the epithelial marker E-cadherin expression was significantly increased, while the expressions of stromal markers Vimentin, Snailin and Slug were significantly decreased in the sh-PIEZO1 group ( P<0.05). Finally, Western blotting and immunofluorescent staining showed that PIEZO1 silence significantly increased the phosphorylated-YAP expression, significantly decreased the YAP nuclear expression, significantly down-regulated the CYR61 and CTGF expressions, and significantly reduced the levels of integrin β1 and phosphorylated-FAK; there were significant differences on these indexes between the negative control group and sh-PIEZO1 group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:PIEZO1 regulates the response of glioma cells to mechanical signal and promotes proliferation and invasion of glioma cells through YAP, which is an attractive therapeutic target for glioma treatment.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of intravenous combined with aerosol inhalation of polymyxin B for the treatment of pneumonia caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative (G -) bacteria. Methods:A observational study was conducted. The clinical data of 45 patients with pneumonia due to multidrug-resistant G - bacteria admitted to intensive care unit of Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January to October in 2020 were analyzed. According to the different use methods of polymyxin B, 25 patients who received single intravenous drip (the first dose was 2.0 mg/kg, then 1.25 mg/kg, once every 12 hours) from January to April in 2020 were enrolled in the routine group, and 20 patients who received intravenous drip combined with aerosol inhalation (25 mg once every 12 hours, sputum in the airway was sucked and then sprayed aerosol) from May to October in 2020 were enrolled in the combination group. After the treatment course of polymyxin B, the total bacterial clearance rate, total clinical efficiency rate, recovery time of body temperature, time of bacterial clearance and the change of serum procalcitonin (PCT) level before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. Moreover, the incidence of adverse reactions during treatment in the two groups was observed. Results:The results of sputum culture in the routine group were Acinetobacter baumannii in 13 patients, Klebsiella pneumoniae in 5 patients, Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 6 patients, Enterobacter cloacae in 1 patient; the sputum culture results of the combination group showed that there were 5 patients of Acinetobacter baumannii, 9 Klebsiella pneumoniae and 6 Pseudomonas aeruginosa. There was no significant difference in the results of sputum culture between the two groups ( P > 0.05). The total bacterial clearance rate and the total clinical efficiency rate of the combination group were significantly higher than those in the routine group (total bacterial clearance rate: 70.0% vs. 40.0%, total clinical efficiency rate: 75.0% vs. 40.0%, both P < 0.05). The recovery time of body temperature and the time of bacterial clearance of the combination group were significantly shorter than those in the routine group [recovery time of body temperature (days): 6.0±3.9 vs. 10.2±7.3, time of bacterial clearance (days): 6.1±5.2 vs. 11.5±6.8, both P < 0.05]. No significant difference was found in serum PCT level before treatment between the two group. There was no significant difference in serum PCT level before and after treatment in the routine group [μg/L: 0.85 (0.44, 2.87) vs. 1.43 (0.76, 5.30), P > 0.05]. The serum PCT level after treatment in the combination group was significantly lower than that before treatment [μg/L: 0.27 (0.10, 0.70) vs. 0.91 (0.32, 3.53), P < 0.05], and it was significantly lower than that in the routine group [μg/L: 0.27 (0.10, 0.70) vs. 0.85 (0.44, 2.87), P < 0.01]. The incidence of renal toxicity of polymyxin B between the combination group and the routine group was not significantly different (5.0% vs. 4.0%, P > 0.05). Conclusions:The efficacy of intravenous combined with aerosol inhalation of polymyxin B for the treatment of pneumonia due to multidrug-resistant G - bacteria is better than that of intravenous drip of polymyxin B only. The aerosolized polymyxin B will not increase the risk of renal injury.

Conclusions:High BMI, low preoperative serum albumin, MPD ≤3 mm, soft texture of pancreas and CR-POPF after surgery were independent risk factors for CR-DGE, and early clinical interventions should be performed.

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy: a promising treatment modality for relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma / 医学前沿

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a distinct histological type of B-cell lymphoma with a poor prognosis. Several agents, such as proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, and inhibitors of B cell lymphoma-2 and Bruton's tyrosine kinase have shown efficacy for relapsed or refractory (r/r) MCL but often have short-term responses. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has emerged as a novel treatment modality for r/r non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, long-term safety and tolerability associated with CAR T-cell therapy are not defined well, especially in MCL. In this report, we described a 70-year-old patient with r/r MCL with 48-month duration of follow-up who achieved long-term remission after CAR T-cell therapy. CAR T-cell-related toxicities were also mild and tolerated well even in this elderly patient. This report suggested that CAR T-cell therapy is a promising treatment modality for patients with MCL, who are generally elderly and have comorbid conditions.

Different sites of extranodal involvement may affect the survival of patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma after chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy / 医学前沿

Factors associated with complete and durable remissions after anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell immunotherapy for relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (r/r NHL) have not been well characterized. In this study, we found that the different sites of extranodal involvement may affect response, overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with r/r NHL treated with anti-CD19 CAR-T cells. In a cohort of 32 treated patients, 12 (37.5%) and 8 (25%) patients exhibited soft tissue lymphoma and bone marrow (BM) infiltrations, respectively, and 13 (41%) patients exhibited infiltration at other sites. The factors that may affect prognosis were identified through multivariable analysis. As an independent risk factor, soft tissue infiltration was the only factor significantly correlated with adverse prognosis (P < 0.05), whereas other factors did not reach statistical significance. Furthermore, the site of extranodal tumor infiltration significantly and negatively affected OS and PFS in patients with r/r NHL treated with anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy. PFS and OS in patients with BM involvement were not significantly different from those of patients with lymph node involvement alone. Thus, anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy may improve the prognosis of patients with BM infiltration.

Objective To investigate the association between choline intake during pregnancy and choline metabolism in parturients and infants,and to analyze the difference in plasma choline level between premature and healthy full-term infants at birth.Methods Neonates who were born in the Department of Obstetrics of Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from September 2014 to May 2016 were enrolled.Demographic and clinical information of these neonates and their mothers were recorded.Dietary choline intake during pregnancy was determined on the second day after delivery using food frequency questionnaires.Free choline levels in plasma of all parturients and neonates were measured.Then,data were collected and analyzed by independent samples t-test,trend Chi-square test,Chi-square test and linear regression methods.Results (1) A total of 134 parturients and their neonates were enrolled in this study including 80 full-term infants and 54 premature infants.Compared with the full term group,the parturients in the premature group had higher pregestational BMI (22.7±3.2 vs 20.8±2.3,t=-3.720) and lesseducation background (trendx2=4.020) (both P＜0.05).(2) The food frequency questionnaires showed that 30.0％(24/80) of pregnant women in the full-term group reached adequate intake (AI) of choline during pregnancy,while only 11.1％ (6/54) in the premature group did.(3) Plasma choline level in maternal peripheral blood was positively associated with maternal dietary choline intake during pregnancy (r=0.882,r2=0.778,P＜0.001).Moreover,plasma choline level in the umbilical artery was closely related to maternal plasma choline level (r=0.965,r2=0.931,P＜0.001).(4) The dietary choline intake during pregnancy,maternal plasma choline level and plasma choline level in umbilical artery in premature infant group were all lower than those of full-term group [(305.24± 102.17) vs (386.16± 121.36) rmg/d,t=4.026;(5.23±0.79) vs (7.18± 1.51) μmol/L,t=9.783;(20.68±3.52) vs (27.96±3.94) μmol/L,t=10.930;all P＜0.01].Conclusions Insufficient dietary intake of choline during pregnancy is common.The dietary choline intake during pregnancy in parturients of preterm delivery group is lower than that in full-term group.Dietary choline intake during pregnancy is related to plasma choline level in umbilical artery.Therefore,dietary guidance should be emphasized for pregnant and lactating women to increase the intake of foods rich in choline.It is also important to provide premature infants with choline in time to meets the needs of their development.

Prognostic value of the revised international staging system for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients / 中华血液学杂志

Objective@#To assess the prognostic value of revised international staging system (R-ISS) for multiple myeloma (MM) in real world.@*Methods@#A total of 202 newly diagnosis symptomatic MM patients were enrolled from May 2010 to April 2015 and the clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients received at least four courses of bortezomib-based or thalidomide-based induction therapy.@*Results@#With a median follow-up of 31 months, the cohort included 56 cases in R-ISSⅠ, 108 in R-ISS Ⅱ, and 38 in R-ISS Ⅲ, and the median OS was not reached/61/38 months, respectively (P=0.001). According to the ISS system, 62 patients were classified in ISS-Ⅰ, 70 in ISS-Ⅱ and 70 in ISS-Ⅲ, with the median OS was 58, 52 and 40 months, respectively (P=0.001). The relative risk (HR) of R-ISS stage Ⅲ vs Ⅰ, Ⅱ vs Ⅰ were 9.606 (P=0.008) and 4.038 (P=0.029). The HR of Ⅲ vs Ⅰ, Ⅱ vs Ⅰ of ISS system were 4.127 (P=0.070) and 2.877 (P=0.005). In the subgroup analysis, R-ISS predicted survival for patients who were not transplanted (P=0.003) , receiving bortezomib-based therapy (P=0.010) , and patients younger than 65 years (P=0.001).@*Conclusion@#R-ISS system could better predict prognosis for OS in unselected nonclinical trial myeloma patients than ISS system, especially for the younger patients, patients with bortezomib-based therapy, and patients without transplantation.
