摘要
SUMMARY: The objective of this study was to observe the clinical efficacy of apatinib (AP) combined with 131I in the treatment of radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAIR-DTC) and the prognostic significance of MIP-1α after treatment, and to provide reference and guidance for future treatment and disease assessment of RAIR-DTC. One hundred and six patients with RAIR- DTC admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to October 2020 were selected for the study. All the patients were treated with TC surgery with 131I at our hospital, and 58 of them were subsequently transferred to AP treatment, which was considered as the research group; the other 48 patients were transferred to thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) suppression treatment, which was considered as the control group. The clinical efficacy of the research group was better than that of the control group (P 0.05). After treatment, Tg, TL, maximum diameter of C/B lymph nodes, number of lymph nodes and number of calcified spots were lower in the research group than in the control group (P < 0.05). ROC analysis revealed that the predictive sensitivity of MIP-1α for prognosis of 3-year RAIR-DTC death in the research group of patients was 84.63 % and the specificity was 72.16 %. AP combined with 131I is effective in the treatment of RAIR-DTC and is worth using in the clinical practice. In addition, elevated levels of MIP-1α predicted a poor prognosis for patients with RAIR-DTC.
El objetivo de este estudio fue observar la eficacia clínica de apatinib (AP) combinado con 131I en el tratamiento del cáncer de tiroides diferenciado refractario al yodo radiactivo (RAIR-DTC) y la importancia pronóstica de MIP-1α después del tratamiento, y proporcionar referencia y orientación para futuros tratamientos y enfermedades. Evaluación de RAIR- DTC. Se seleccionaron para el estudio 106 pacientes con RAIR- DTC ingresados en nuestro hospital desde enero de 2019 hasta octubre de 2020. Todos los pacientes fueron tratados con cirugía CT con 131I, y 58 de ellos fueron trasladados posteriormente a tratamiento AP, los que fueron considerados como grupo de investigación; los otros 48 pacientes fueron transferidos a tratamiento de supresión de la hormona estimulante de la tiroides (TSH), que se consideró como grupo de control. La eficacia clínica del grupo de investigación fue mejor que la del grupo de control (P 0,05). Después del tratamiento, Tg, TL, diámetro máximo de los linfonodos C/B, número linfonodos y número de manchas calcificadas fueron menores en el grupo de investigación que en el grupo de control (P <0,05). El análisis ROC reveló que la sensibilidad predictiva de MIP-1α para el pronóstico de muerte por RAIR-DTC a 3 años en el grupo de pacientes de investigación fue del 84,63 % y la especificidad fue del 72,16 %. AP combinado con 131I es eficaz en el tratamiento del RAIR-DTC y vale la pena utilizarlo en la práctica clínica. Además, los niveles elevados de MIP-1α predijeron un mal pronóstico para los pacientes con RAIR- DTC.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value and imaging characteristics of MRI combined with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron-emission tomography (PET)/CT in focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) complicated with refractory epilepsy. Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 42 patients with FCD complicated with refractory epilepsy who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2017 to December 2022. All patients underwent preoperative MRI and 18F-FDG PET/CT, and PET/MRI fusion was performed on the images. Chi-square test and Kappa consistency test were used to compare the localization diagnostic efficacy of PET/CT, MRI and PET/MRI fusion for epileptic foci. The patients were categorized based on gender, lesion location, pathological type, seizure type, and efficacy. Independent sample t-test and analysis of variance were used to compare maximum standardized uptake (SUVmax) values and asymmetry index (AI) of the patients between different groups. Results:Among the 42 patients, the positive rates of MRI, PET/CT, PET/MRI fusion examinations were 85.7%(36/42), 95.2%(40/42), 100.0%(42/42), the lateral localization rates were 71.4%(30/42), 92.9%(39/42), 95.2%(40/42), and the localization rates were 57.1%(24/42), 81.0%(34/42), 88.1%(37/42), respectively. There were significant differences in the lateral localization rates and localization rates of epileptogenic foci between MRI and PET/CT (χ 2=6.574, P=0.010; χ 2=5.570, P=0.018). There were significant differences in the positive rates of lesions, the lateral localization rates and the localization rates of epileptogenic foci between MRI and PET/MRI fusion (χ 2=6.385, P=0.012; χ 2=8.571, P=0.003; χ 2=10.118, P=0.001). There were no significant differences in the positive rates of lesions between MRI and PET/CT, and in the positive rates of lesions, the lateral localization rates and localization rates of epileptogenic foci between PET/CT and PET/MRI fusion (χ 2=2.184, P=0.139; χ 2=2.024, P=0.155; χ 2=0.210, P=0.647; χ 2=0.819, P=0.365). The Kappa consistency test of PET/CT and PET/MRI fusion imaging was performed for the location of epileptogenic foci, and the Kappa=0.721 was obtained, indicating that they were consistent in the location of epileptogenic foci. The SUVmax values of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy were lower, and the AI values were higher than that of patients with extra temporal lobe epilepsy (7.4±1.3 vs 9.6±1.6, 15.5±2.6 vs 12.9±2.4; t=5.154, 6.083; P=0.001, 0.001). The SUVmax values of patients with good efficacy (according to the Engel efficacy grading system, grades Ⅰ-Ⅱ indicating good efficacy) were higher, and the AI values were lower than that of patients with poor efficacy (according to the Engel efficacy grading system, grades Ⅲ-Ⅳ indicating poor efficacy; 9.5±1.9 vs 7.9±2.1, 13.5±3.3 vs 14.8±3.0; t=2.789, 3.722; P=0.042, 0.029). There were no significant differences in SUVmax and AI values among different genders, pathological types and seizure types (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The imaging characteristics of patients with different types of FCD complicated with refractory epilepsy are different. PET/MRI fusion is better than MRI in the diagnosis of FCD complicated with refractory epilepsy, and is consistent with PET/CT in the location of epileptogenic foci.

Objective:To observe the efficacy and safety of subretinal injection of Aflibercept for the treatment of refractory or recurrent polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV).Methods:A prospective clinical research. From January to June 2022, 18 patients of 18 eyes with PCV diagnosed in The Affiliated Eye Hospital of Nanchang University were included in the study. All patients underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), indocyanine green angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The BCVA examination was performed using the international standard visual acuity chart, which was converted to logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity during statistics. The large choroidal vessel thickness (LVCT), central retinal thickness (CRT), sub-foveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) and retinal pigment epithelium detachment (PED) height were measured by enhanced depth imaging technique of OCT. The choroidal vascular index (CVI) was calculated. There were 18 patients of 18 eyes, 11 males of 11 eyes and 7 females of 7 eyes. The age was (64.22±3.86) years old. The disease duration was (5.22±1.80) years. The patient had received intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs for (7.72±1.36) times. The logMAR BCVA of the affected eyes was 1.28±0.25. The SFCT, CRT, LVCT, PED height were (436.56±9.80), (432.44±44.29), (283.78±27.10), (342.44±50.18) μm, respectively, and CVI was 0.65±0.01. All eyes were treated with a single subretinal injection of 40 mg/ml Aflibercept 0.05 ml (including Aflibercept 2.0 mg). According to the results of OCT and BCVA after treatment, the lesions were divided into active type and static type. The active lesions were treated with intravitreal injection of Aflibercept at the same dose as before. Quiescent lesions were followed up. Examinations were performed 1-3, 6, 9 and 12 months after treatment using the same equipment and methods before treatment. The BCVA, LVCT, CRT, SFCT, PED height, CVI, interretinal or subretinal fluid, lesion regression rate, injection times, and complications during and after treatment were observed. The BCVA, SFCT, CRT, LVCT, PED height and CVI before and after treatment were compared by repeated measures analysis of variance.Results:Eighteen eyes received subretinal and/or intravitreal injection of Aflibercept (1.61±0.85) times (1-4 times). At the last follow-up, the polypoid lesions regressed in 4 eyes and PED disappeared in 1 eye. Compared with before treatment, BCVA ( F=50.298) gradually increased, CRT ( F=25.220), PED height ( F=144.16), SFCT ( F=69.77), LVCT ( F=136.69), CVI ( F=72.70) gradually decreased after treatment. The differences were statistically significant ( P<0.001). Macular hole occurred in 1 eye after treatment, and the hole closed spontaneously 3 months after treatment. No serious complications such as retinal tear, retinal detachment, endophthalmitis and vitreous hemorrhage occurred during and after treatment. Conclusion:Subretinal injection of Aflibercept is safe and effective in the treatment of refractory PCV.

AIM: To evaluate clinical efficacy and safety of ultrasound cycloplasty(UCP)in the treatment of refractory glaucoma.METHODS:From June 2021 to October 2022, a total of 17 patients(17 eyes)with refractory glaucoma were enrolled in this prospective study, and they all underwent UCP. The patients underwent 6 mo followed-up post-treatment, and the intraocular pressure(IOP), pain grade score, IOP lowering drugs, success rate and occurrence of complications were documented.RESULTS:The IOP was significantly decreased from 51.98±7.80 mmHg before UCP to 32.54±13.21 mmHg at 1 d, 22.38±11.98 mmHg at 1 wk, 22.63±10.78 mmHg at 1 mo, 26.05±9.17 mmHg at 3 mo, and 23.73±9.60 mmHg at 6 mo postoperatively(all P<0.01). The percentage of IOP reduction after treatment was 36.25%, 57.10%, 56.35%, 49.16% and 54.09% at 1 d, 1 wk, 1, 3, and 6 mo, respectively. The pain grade scores were decreased(P<0.01). There was a statistically significant reduction in the use of IOP lowering medications(P=0.008). At 6 mo postoperatively, 2 eyes(12%)were complete success, 11 eyes(65%)were qualified success, and 4 eyes(24%)were failure. The main complication observed was anterior chamber inflammation in 1 eye(6%), foreign body sensation in 2 eyes(12%), subconjunctival hemorrhage in 2 eyes(12%), and conjunctival congestion in 6 eyes(35%). All symptoms spontaneously resolved within 1 wk without requiring any specific treatment. One case of choroidal detachment(6%)occurred on 10 d postoperatively, but recovered after orally treated by prednisone acetate for 1 mo. No other serious complications, such as hyphema, corectopia, synechia or macular edema were reported.CONCLUSION:UCP is safe and efficacious in treating refractory glaucoma, reducing IOP and alleviating ocular pain symptoms, while maintaining a favorable safety profile.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab combined with zanubrutinib in the treatment of refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods:A prospective observational study was conducted. A total of 10 patients with refractory DLBCL admitted to Beijing Chaoyang District Third Ring Cancer Hospital, a specialist medical consortium of Cancer Hospital Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from November 2020 to February 2023 were prospectively collected. All the 10 refractory DLBCL patients at least received first-line systemic therapy containing rituximab; and they were given tislelizumab 200 mg, intravenous infusion, on day 1 and zanubrutinib 160 mg, orally, twice a day, day 1-day 21, with 21 days as 1 cycle; 6 patients received second-line therapy and 4 patients received ≥ third-line therapy. Subsequent regimens were added with rituximab (375 mg/m 2, intravenous infusion on day 1). The primary endpoint will be reached 12 months after enrollment if there was no disease progression or other events that were scheduled to withdraw from the study. The therapeutic efficacy was summarized at the end of the follow-up in March 2023. Kaplan-Meier method was used to make survival analysis and the adverse reactions were summed up. Results:There were 6 males and 4 females, all at stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ; and age [ M ( Q1, Q3)] was 55 years (50 years, 69 years). All 10 patients completed 90 cycles of treatment with tislelizumab and zanubrutinib, with the cycle number of 8 cycles (2 cycles, 24 cycles). The follow-up time was 19 months (11 months, 28 months); 4 cases achieved complete remission, 3 cases achieved partial remission and 1 case had the stable disease. The progression-free survival was 8.5 months (1.3 months, 27.0 months); the median remission duration time and median overall survival time were not reached. Treatment-related adverse reactions included 2 cases of neutropenia, 1 case of anemia, and 1 case of elevated alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, all of which were grade 1-2. Conclusions:Tislelizumab combined with zanubrutinib has good clinical efficacy and safety in the treatment of refractory DLBCL.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib in the treatment of Chinese patients with refractory graft-versus-host disease(SR-GVHD) by using meta-analysis.Methods:China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI), WanFang database, VIP database, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, Ebscore Medline, EMBASE, Web of Science Core Collection and Cochrane Library were searched by using "ruxolitinib" "Graft vs Host Disease" "graft versus host disease" "Graft-Versus-Host Disease" as key words. The retrieve time was from the establishment of the database to December 7th, 2021. The related literatures of ruxolitinib for Chinese patients with SR-GVHD were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the characteristics of the literatures were extracted. Outcomes indexes included overall objective response rate (ORR), proportion of hormone reduction and discontinuation, survival indexes and incidence of adverse events. Meta-analysis of ORR, remission rate of affected organs, 12-month overall survival rate, overall mortality and mortality due to graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) were performed by using Stata 16.0 software or R3.6.3 software. The statistics analysis was performed on the hormone usage and adverse events.Results:A total of 19 literatures involving 775 Chinese patients with SR-GVHD treated by ruxolitinib were included. Meta analysis showed that the ORR of ruxolitinib for treatment of acute GVHD (aGVHD) was 84% (285/339), with moderate heterogeneity among studies ( I2 = 62.04%, P<0.01), and the complete remission (CR) rate, partial remission (PR) rate and non-remission (NR) rate was 56% (190/339), 28% (95/339), and 14%(47/339), respectively. The ORR of ruxolitinib for treatment of chronic GVHD (cGVHD) was 77% (332/431), with moderate heterogeneity among studies ( I2 = 50.17%, P = 0.02), and the CR rate, PR rate and NR rate was 36% (155/431), 41% (177/431) and 21% (91/431), respectively. As for hormone usage, 46.51% of aGVHD patients had steroid reduction and 34.88% patients had steroid discontinuation. Similarly, 28.2% of patients with cGVHD had steroid reduction and 36.9% had steroid discontinuation. The overall 12-month survival rate of patients with SR-GVHD after the treatment of ruxolitinib was 71% (95% CI: 63%-79%, I2 = 72.70%, P<0.01). Adverse events occurred for 760 times in total, among which 287 times (36.0%) of viral infection and 269 times (34.7%) of hemocytopenia were the most common adverse events. Conclusions:Ruxolitinib is effective in the treatment of Chinese patients with SR-GVHD, and it helps reduce hormone-dependency and prolong the survival time.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of radioactive Iodine-refrac-tory differentiated thyroid cancer(RAIR-DTC)to provide a clinical evidence for early prediction of the thyroid cancer patients with radioactive Iodine-refractory(RAIR).Methods The data of 84 patients with undergoing thyroidectomy and 131I therapy in PLA 960 hospital from January 2010 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Thirty-nine patients with diagnosed RAIR-DTC served as the study group and 45 cases of radioactive iodine-avid differentiated thyroid cancer(RAIA-DTC)served as the control group.The clinicopathological characteristics were compared between the two groups.The logistic regression was used to analyze the inde-pendent risk factors of RAIR-DTC,and the RAIR-DTC prediction model was established.Results Compared with the RAIA-DTC group,the RAIR-DTC group had more iodine treatment times,the proportions of the pa-tients with age ≥55 years old,total iodine therapeutic dose,distant metastasis,TNM stage Ⅳ,high-risk sub-types and focal calcification were higher,the tumor maximum diameter was greater,the number of lymph node metastases was more and the probability of Ⅱ,Ⅰ+Ⅱ and non-central lymph node metastases was higher(P＞0.05).The progression-free survival rate had statistical difference between the two groups(P＜0.05).The total survival rate had no statistical difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The binary logistic re-gression analysis results showed that the distant metastasis,high-risk histological subtype and maximum tumor diameter ≥10.5 mm were the independent risk factors for RAIR-DTC.The obtained fitting equation logit(P)=-2.259+3.330X1+2.287X2+1.606X3,the ROC curve was used to calculate the truncation val-ue of the fitted equation as-0.312 5,when logit(P)＞-0.312 5,it might develop into RAIR-DTC.Conclusion The clinicopathological characteristics of the patients with differentiated thyroid cancer could ef-fectively predict RAIR.
摘要
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the main pathogen of community-acquired pneumonia in children in China. Although most children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia have a good prognosis，a small number of children can progress to refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. Compared with general mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia，the clinical symptoms and lung imaging findings of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia are more serious. Fever and treatment time are longer and extrapulmonary complications are more likely to occur. In order to better identify and treat refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia at an early stage，some scholars have carried out studies on early prediction of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia by using biomarkers，imaging findings and nomogram. This paper reviews relevant studies in recent years，to provide reference for early prediction of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia.

Objective:The distribution characteristics of intrathecal drugs and the limitation of current catheterization techniques make traditional intrathecal analgesic treatment nearly useless for refractory craniofacial pain,such as trigemina neuralgia.This technical guideline aims to promote the widespread and standardize the application of intra-prepontine cisternal drug delivery via spinal puncture and catheterization. Methods:A modified Delphi approach was used to work for this guideline.On the issues related to the intra-prepontine cisternal targeted drug delivery technique,the working group consulted 10 experts from the field with 3 rounds of email feedback and 3 rounds of conference discussion. Results:For the efficacy and safety of the intra-prepontine cisternal targeted drug delivery technique,a consensus was formed on 7 topics(with an agreement rate of more than 80%),including the principles of the technique,indications and contraindications,patient preparation,surgical specifications for intra-prepontine cisternal catheter placement,analgesic dosage coordination,analgesic management,and prevention and treatment of complications. Conclusion:Utilizing the intra-prepontine cisternal drug infusion system to manage refractory craniofacial pain could provide advantages in terms of minimally invasive,secure,and effective treatment.This application can not only alleviate the suffering of individuals experiencing the prolonged pain but also support the maintenance of quality of life and dignity in their final moments,justifiing its widespread dissemination and standardized adoption in domestic and international professional fields.
摘要
When refractory diarrhea comes on,it greatly affects the life and daily work of patients,and there is no unified treatment.Patients with refractory diarrhea have varying degrees of intestinal flora disorder,so rebuilding the intestinal micro ecosystem may be an effective way to treat refractory diarrhea.Fecal microbiota transplantation(FMT)has the potential to be an effective treatment for refractory diarrhea as a therapy that reconstructs normal intestinal flora.In recent years,FMT has been applied to the treatment of some refractory diarrhea related to intestinal flora imbalance,such as recurrent clostridium difficile infection,inflammatory bowel disease,irritable bowel syndrome,and has achieved good results,but some problems have not been properly solved so far.This article reviews the mechanism of action of FMT in the treatment of refractory diarrhea,its clinical application,research progress and current problems.

Objective To discuss the safety and efficacy of arterial embolization combined with local ablation in the treatment of recurrent and refractory chest wall tumors.Methods The clinical data of 11 patients with chest wall tumor that recurred after surgery and progressed after treatment were retrospectively analyzed.On the basis of the original treatment regimen,DSA-guided arterial embolization and CT-guided local ablation were employed.VAS score of pain relief and postoperative complications were recorded,and the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated Results All the patients were follow up for a median time of 18.5 months.Successful DSA-guided arterial embolization was accomplished in all patients.Seven patients(9 lesions in total)initially received CT-guided radiofrequency ablation(RFA),and tumor reoccurred in 2 patients,who had to receive RFA once more.Four patients(5 lesions in total)initially received CT-guided microwave ablation(MWA),and tumor reoccurred in one patient,who had to receive MWA again.According to mRECIST criteria,the 6-month,12-month and 18-month objective response rates(ORR)were 72.7%(8/11),45.5%(5/11)and 18.2%(2/11)respectively,the 6-month,12-month and 18-month overall survival rates were 81.8%(9/11),63.6%(7/11)and 27.3%(3/11)respectively,with a median survival time of 13.2 months.The postoperative one-month and 3-month VAS scores were(2.42±1.25)points and(1.91±1.24)points respectively,which were strikingly lower than preoperative(6.78±1.13)points,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).After surgery,3 patients developed pleural effusion,which disappeared after puncture and drainage treatment,and 2 patients developed fever,which was improved after symptomatic treatment.One patient died of respiratory failure six months after treatment.Conclusion Arterial embolization combined with local ablation can improve the symptoms of pain and prolong the survival time of patients with chest wall tumors.This combination therapy is less traumatic and clinically safe,and it can be used as an effective treatment for patients with recurrent and refractory chest wall tumors.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect of aripiprazole or risperidone combined with clozapine in the treatment of treatment-refractory schizophrenia(TRS).Method:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 90 patients with TRS who received treatment at Tanggu Anding Hospital from May 2021 to May 2022.According to the drug treatment regimen,patients were divided into clozapine group,aripiprazole+clozapine group,and risperidone+clozapine group,with 30 cases in each group.The positive and negative symptom scale(PANSS)score,clinical efficacy,and total incidence of adverse reactions were compared before and after treatment among the three groups.Results:After treatment,the total scores and subscale scores of PANSS in the three groups decreased compared to before treatment(P＜0.05).And after treatment,the total scores and subscale scores of PANSS in aripiprazole+clozapine group and risperidone+clozapine group were lower than those in clozapine group(P＜0.05)and the scores in aripiprazole+clozapine group were lower than those in risperidone+clozapine group(P＜0.05).After treatment,the total effective rates in aripiprazole+clozapine group and risperidone+ clozapine group were higher than those in clozapine group(P＜0.05)and the total effective rate in aripiprazole+clozapine group was higher than that in risperidone+clozapine group(P＜0.05).The total incidence of adverse reactions in the three groups was similar(P＞0.05).Conclusion:The overall efficacy of aripiprazole combined with clozapine in the treatment of TRS is better than that of risperidone combined with clozapine or clozapine alone,and can be promoted as the preferred treatment plan.

Objective To investigate the effect of tyrosine kinase inhibitor(TKI)on radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid carcinoma(RAI-rDTC).Methods Literature related to RAI-rDTC was retrieved from Wanfang Data,CNKI,VIP,PubMed,Cochrane,EmBase and Medline databases until December 31,2021.Literature quality and experimental bias were referred to the Cochrane quality risk assessment table,and Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software.Results A total of 1384 patients were included in 6 studies.The results of Meta-analysis showed that the median progress free survive(HR=0.30,95%CI:0.18-0.50,P<0.00001)and overall survival(HR=0.70,95%CI:0.57-0.88,P=0.002)in treatment group were significantly longer than those in control group.There was no significant difference in complete response between two groups(RR=3.31,95%CI:0.41-26.89,P=0.26).The partial response in treatment group was significantly higher than that in control group(RR=15.97,95%CI:3.48-73.17,P=0.0004).The incidence of TKI-related adverse reactions above grade 3 in treatment group was significantly higher than that in control group(RR=2.91,95%CI:1.70-4.96,P<0.0001).Conclusion TKI can significantly prolong progress free survive and overall survival in patients with RAI-rDTC,but there are still many adverse reactions.It is necessary to comprehensively evaluate the health status of patients before medication.
