Bayesian consensus clustering for multivariate longitudinal data

In clinical and epidemiological studies, there is a growing interest in studying the heterogeneity among patients based on longitudinal characteristics to identify subtypes of the study population. Compared to clustering a single longitudinal marker, simultaneously clustering multiple longitudinal markers allow additional information to be incorporated into the clustering process, which reveals co-existing longitudinal patterns and generates deeper biological insight. In the current study, we propose a Bayesian consensus clustering (BCC) model for multivariate longitudinal data. Instead of arriving at a single overall clustering, the proposed model allows each marker to follow marker-specific local clustering and these local clusterings are aggregated to find a global (consensus) clustering. To estimate the posterior distribution of model parameters, a Gibbs sampling algorithm is proposed. We apply our proposed model to the primary biliary cirrhosis study to identify patient subtypes that may be associated with their prognosis. We also perform simulation studies to compare the clustering performance between the proposed model and existing models under several scenarios. The results demonstrate that the proposed BCC model serves as a useful tool for clustering multivariate longitudinal data.     

以患者为中心的护理模式在腹腔镜胆囊切除术中的应用及对患者应激反应的影响

目的 探讨以患者为中心的护理模式在腹腔镜胆囊切除术中的应用效果及对患者应激反应的影响。方法 选取2019年3月至2021年3月于我院行腹腔镜胆囊切除术的64例患者,按照入组单双顺序平均分为观察组(以患者为中心的护理模式)与对照组(常规急诊护理)各32例。比较两组的生理应激反应、心理应激反应和术后恢复情况。结果 干预后,观察组的胰岛素、皮质醇水平及HAMA、 HAMD评分低于对照组,肾上腺素水平高于对照组(P<0.05)。观察组的VAS评分低于对照组,肛门排气及下床活动时间短于对照组(P<0.05)。结论 以患者为中心的护理模式可减轻急诊胆囊切除术患者的生理及心理应激反应,促进患者术后康复。     

First-line nivolumab plus chemotherapy vs chemotherapy in patients with advanced gastric,gastroesophageal junction and esophageal adenocarcinoma: CheckMate 649 Chinese subgroup analysis

First-line chemotherapy for advanced/metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer (GC/GEJC) has poor median overall survival (OS; <1 year). We report efficacy and safety results from Chinese patients in the phase III global CheckMate 649 study of nivolumab plus chemotherapy vs chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of GC/GEJC/esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Chinese patients with previously untreated advanced or metastatic GC/GEJC/EAC were randomized to receive nivolumab (360 mg Q3W or 240 mg Q2W) plus chemotherapy (XELOX [capecitabine and oxaliplatin] Q3W or FOLFOX [oxaliplatin, leucovorin and 5-fluorouracil] Q2W), nivolumab plus ipilimumab (not reported) or chemotherapy alone. OS, blinded independent central review-assessed progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR) and safety are reported. Of 1581 patients enrolled and randomized, 208 were Chinese. In these patients, nivolumab plus chemotherapy resulted in clinically meaningful improvement in median OS (14.3 vs 10.2 months; HR 0.61 [95% CI: 0.44-0.85]), median PFS (8.3 vs 5.6 months; HR 0.57 [95% CI: 0.40-0.80]), ORR (66% vs 45%) and median DOR (12.2 vs 5.6 months) vs chemotherapy, respectively. The safety profile was acceptable, with no new safety signals observed. Consistent with results from the global primary analysis of CheckMate 649, nivolumab plus chemotherapy demonstrated a clinically meaningful improvement in OS and PFS and higher response rate vs chemotherapy and an acceptable safety profile in Chinese patients. Nivolumab plus chemotherapy represents a new standard first-line treatment for Chinese patients with non-HER2-positive advanced GC/GEJC/EAC.

2型糖尿病患者血清SUA和CysC水平与糖尿病视网膜病变的关系

目的：探讨血清尿酸(SUA)、胱抑素C(CysC)水平与糖尿病视网膜病变(DR)的关系。

方法：前瞻性研究。选取2019-05/2021-05本院收治无DR的2型糖尿病(T2DM)患者53例和DR患者83例，DR患者中包括非增殖型糖尿病视网膜病变(NPDR)47例、增殖型糖尿病视网膜病变(PDR)36例。另选取同期体检中心体检健康者48人作为对照组。比较受试者血清学指标，尿酸氧化酶法检测SUA水平，免疫比浊法检测血清CysC含量，Spearman相关性分析血清SUA、CysC与其他血清学指标的相关性，多因素线性逐步回归法分析血清SUA、CysC的影响因素，使用受试者工作特征曲线(ROC)分析血清SUA、CysC对DR预测效能。

结果：T2DM组、NPDR组和PDR组的体质量指数(BMI)、收缩压(SBP)均明显高于对照组(均P<0.05)，PDR组的SBP均明显高于T2DM组和NPDR组(均P<0.05)，NPDR组和PDR组糖尿病病程均明显高于T2DM组(均P<0.05)，PDR组糖尿病病程明显高于NPDR组(P<0.05)。对照组、T2DM组、NPDR组、PDR组纳入对象中空腹血糖(FPG)、糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)、SUA、CysC水平呈逐渐明显升高趋势(均P<0.001)，PDR组的低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)、甘油三酯(TG)水平明显高于对照组(均P<0.05)，而高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)水平明显低于对照组(P<0.05)。血清SUA水平与FPG、HbA1c、TC、TG水平呈正相关(r_s=0.564、0.631、0.513、0.408，P<0.001)，与HDL-C、LDL-C无相关性(r_s=-0.061、0.035，P>0.05)； 血清 CysC水平与FPG、HbA1c、TC、TG水平呈正相关(r_s=0.524、0.692、0.395、0.435，P<0.001)，与HDL-C、LDL-C无相关性(r_s=-0.012、0.049，P>0.05)，FPG、HbA1c、TC、TG是血清SUA、CysC水平影响因素(P<0.001)。SUA、CysC联合检测时曲线下面积(AUC)(0.892，95%CI：0.840～0.944，敏感性71.1%，特异性94.3%)显著高于其单独检测AUC\〖SUA(0.807，95%CI：0.735～0.879，敏感性69.9%，特异性75.5%)、CysC(0.763，95%CI：0.684～0.841，敏感性69.9%，特异性75.5%)\〗(均P<0.05)。

结论：随着DR病情严重程度加重而血清SUA、CysC水平逐渐升高。血清SUA、CysC联合检测可提高DR诊断预测效能。
