基于肿瘤浸润深度及大小的TTS 评分系统对可切除胃癌患者预后判断的价值

目的:探讨基于肿瘤浸润深度及大小的TTS评分系统对可切除胃癌患者预后判断的价值。方法:选择行根治性切除的234例胃癌患者为研究对象。根据肿瘤浸润深度（T分期）和肿瘤大小构建TTS评分系统，分为TTS 0级、1级、2级，代表肿瘤侵袭性逐渐升高。通过Cox多因素模型分析TTS评分系统作为预后判断工具的可行性。结果:T1-T4期患者肿瘤的平均大小分别为(3.3±2.7)cm、(4.1±3.1)cm、(6.6±3.1)cm、(9.4±4.9)cm。单因素分析显示，肿瘤浸润深度与肿瘤大小、淋巴结转移、TNM分期、淋巴浸润和血管浸润显著相关(P＜0.01)。ROC曲线显示，45 mm为肿瘤大小的最佳界值，可有效区分患者是否存在淋巴结转移，曲线下面积(area under curve,AUC)为0.762。综合肿瘤大小的临界值和肿瘤浸润深度，构建TTS评分系统,TTS 0级、TTS 1级和TTS 2级的患者5年生存率分别为95.6%、83.3%和70.2%，两两比较后发现，不同TTS状态患者的生存率之间均存在显著差异(P＜0.01)。Cox多因素分析发现，TTS评分是影响患者预后的独立性危险因素（P＜0.05）。结论:本研究根据肿瘤浸润深度和大小构建了TTS评分系统，并证明了TTS评分与胃癌患者的预后密切相关。     

3D打印可拆卸垂体瘤切除模型的真实性评估

目的探究可拆卸经鼻垂体腺瘤切除操作模型的真实性,并初步探讨了模型的教学性。方法利用患者CT建模、精细优化及3D打印技术构建可拆卸垂体腺瘤切除模型。评估者为19名来自北京协和医院的本院及进修医师,其中年资<10分入"低年资组";年资≥10分入"高年资组"。每位医师分别对3D打印垂体腺瘤切除模型进行操作,并于操作前后分别填写调查问卷、评估量表。结果高年资组的探查经验均高于低年资组。真实度项目的得分均在4附近,各评分项间无明显差异;"切除垂体腺瘤"步骤的真实性评分相对较低;高年资组评分普遍低于低年资组。操作前低年资组信心评分显著低于高年资组,操作后两组评分趋于一致;低年资组的垂体腺瘤切除信心评分变化显著高于高年资组(P<0.05)。结论该模型具有较高的真实性,可用于教学试验进一步评估教学效果。     

Genetics of intervertebral disc disease: A review

Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) is a common musculoskeletal disease affecting about 5% of all individuals. It is characterized by lumbar disc herniation, which causes nerve root irritation, either mechanically or via inflammatory mediators, and results in radiating pain, known as sciatica. Numerous studies have been conducted to identify the causes and risk factors for IVDD. Lifting heavy loads, torsional stress, and motor vehicle driving are among the best-identified environmental risk factors. However, it has become evident recently from family and twin studies that genetic factors may also be important in IVDD. This hypothesis was strengthened by the identification of two collagen IX alleles associated with sciatica and lumbar disc herniation. In addition, disc degeneration has been shown to be related to an aggrecan gene polymorphism, a Vitamin D receptor and matrix metalloproteinase-3 gene alleles. This review highlights the genetic role and occupational aspects of IVDD.     

某三甲医院门诊预约精准性及其影响因素分析

目的了解某三甲综合医院患者门诊预约精准性及其影响因素,比较正确预约与错误预约患者在预约可及性因素上的差异,寻找提高门诊预约精准性的干预点。方法采用现场调查法,于2021年6月14—21日在四川省成都市某三甲综合医院对70例门诊患者进行面访调查。结果门诊预约精准性低,错误预约患者占36.75%。单因素分析显示,预约精准性正向影响因素包括医疗保险保障度(P=0.004)、线下信息可及度(P=0.049)以及医务人员推荐依从度(P<0.001),负向影响因素包括网络信息依从度(P=0.012)、传统媒体信息可及度(P=0.024)以及自媒体推荐依从度(P<0.001);二分类非条件logistic回归分析显示,预约精准性与听从医务人员推荐正相关(P=0.002),与听从自媒体推荐负相关(P=0.014)。结论医疗机构需要加强宣传力度、丰富宣传内容,提高患者就诊的可及性;建议加强网络及传统媒体虚假医疗信息整治力度能改变门诊患者预约精准性低的现况。     

Role of site-directed mutagenesis and adjuvants in the stability and potency of anthrax protective antigen

Anthrax is a zoonotic infection caused by the gram-positive, aerobic, spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis. Depending on the origin of the infection, serious health problems or mortality is possible. The virulence of B. anthracis is reliant on three pathogenic factors, which are secreted upon infection: protective antigen (PA), lethal factor (LF), and edema factor (EF). Systemic illness results from LF and EF entering cells through the formation of a complex with the heptameric form of PA, bound to the membrane of infected cells through its receptor. The currently available anthrax vaccines have multiple drawbacks, and recombinant PA is considered a promising second-generation vaccine candidate. However, the inherent chemical instability of PA through Asn deamidation at multiple sites prevents its use after long-term storage owing to loss of potency. Moreover, there is a distinct possibility of B. anthracis being used as a bioweapon; thus, the developed vaccine should remain efficacious and stable over the long-term. Second-generation anthrax vaccines with appropriate adjuvant formulations for enhanced immunogenicity and safety are desired. In this article, using protein engineering approaches, we have reviewed the stabilization of anthrax vaccine candidates that are currently licensed or under preclinical and clinical trials. We have also proposed a formulation to enhance recombinant PA vaccine potency via adjuvant formulation.     

结直肠癌肿瘤组织中TMPRSS4、c-Met、KIF18A表达水平与其病理特性和生存状态的关系

目的探讨结直肠癌肿瘤组织中跨膜丝氨酸蛋白酶4(TMPRSS4)、间质表皮转化因子(c-Met)、驱动蛋白家族成员18A(KIF18A)表达水平与其病理特性和生存状态的关系。方法选取该院于2015年3月至2017年6月确诊的102例结直肠癌患者作为研究对象,比较癌变组织和癌旁组织TMPRSS4、c-Met阳性率及KIF18A水平的差异,不同病理状态及生存状态患者的TMPRSS4、c-Met阳性率及KIF18A水平的差异,分析患者的病理状态及生存状态与TMPRSS4、c-Met阳性率和KIF18A水平的相关性。结果癌变组织TMPRSS4、c-Met阳性率及KIF18A水平明显高于癌旁组织(P<0.05);不同性别、年龄患者TMPRSS4、c-Met阳性率及KIF18A水平比较差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05),而不同病程、TNM分期、临床分型患者之间比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);通过对患者的随访,生存患者61例,死亡患者41例,生存组TMPRSS4、c-Met阳性率及KIF18A水平明显低于死亡组(P<0.05);患者的TNM分期、临床分型、病程及生存状态与TMPRSS4、c-Met阳性率及KIF18A的水平呈正相关(r=0.165~0.998,P<0.05)。结论结直肠癌肿瘤组织中TMPRSS4、c-Met阳性率及KIF18A水平与其病理特性和生存状态存在一定的相关性,可作为结直肠癌患者诊断辅助参考之一。
