细胞因子在分化型甲状腺癌诊疗中的应用进展北大核心

甲状腺癌是内分泌系统常见的恶性肿瘤之一,其发病率呈逐年上升趋势。甲状腺癌以分化型甲状腺癌(differentiated thyroid carcinoma, DTC)为主,尽管多数DTC患者经规范化治疗后预后良好,但由于部分肿瘤的病理类型侵袭性较高或肿瘤组织分化程度较低,病情进展迅速导致患者总生存时间显著缩短。近年来,有关炎症与肿瘤之间相关性的研究越来越多,炎性微环境的改变在肿瘤发病机制中的作用逐渐被证实,更多的证据表明细胞因子可作为肿瘤的良恶性鉴别、预后判断提示及诊疗方案选择等的重要参考依据。本文就部分细胞因子在DTC诊疗中的应用进展进行论述,旨在为DTC的诊疗与预后判断等提供参考依据。     

A subjective analysis of participants’ views in a study of experimental modelling of imposed airway obstruction in infants and children

Deliberate airway obstruction is a well-recognised form of child abuse and one of the most common causes of death in cases of child homicide. Although classical signs such as petechial haemorrhages can be helpful in raising the suspicion of mechanical asphyxia, they are not always present. Therefore, distinguishing between bruising caused by accidents, medical conditions or non-accidental injury remains challenging. We aimed to characterise bruising patterns which are potentially more consistent with deliberate airway obstruction by means of an experimental modelling study. The first results of our project were previously published and demonstrated that bruising anywhere on the head may be consistent with deliberate upper airway obstruction. In this paper, we present the findings of a questionnaire carried out during the modelling to assess participants’ perception of force and consider how variables such as age, use of adjuncts and force distribution may affect bruising patterns in deliberate airway obstruction. Statistical analysis of our results showed that participants felt they were using less force in scenarios involving the infant rather than the child resuscitation dummy as well as when using adjuncts, meaning marks are likely to be more subtle. Therefore, in such cases it is important to examine for other signs of asphyxiation (such as petechiae) and consider the possibility that adjuncts might have been used which could make picking up localised injuries more difficult. Our results also showed that participants often felt force was not distributed evenly across the digits, reporting the greatest force through either the thumb in isolation or the thumb plus another digit in up to nearly 50% of cases. This suggests that just one or two bruises may be consistent with deliberate airway obstruction.     

The prevalence of non-accidental trauma among children with polytrauma: A nationwide level-I trauma centre study

ObjectiveWe aimed to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of non-accidental trauma (NAT) in children with polytrauma treated at level-I trauma centres (TC).Summary of backgroundData 6–10% Of children who present at the emergency department with injuries, sustain polytrauma. Polytrauma may result from either accidental (AT) or NAT, i.e. inflicted or neglect. The prevalence of NAT among children with polytrauma is currently unclear.MethodsThis is a retrospective study that included children (0–18 years) with an Injury Severity Score >15, who presented at one of the 11 Level-I trauma centers (TC) in the Netherlands between January 1, 2010 and January 1, 2016. Outcomes were classified based on the conclusions of the Child Abuse and Neglect-team. Cases in which conclusions were unavailable and there was no clear accidental cause of injuries were reviewed by an expert panel.ResultsThe study included 1623 children, 1452 (89%) were classified as AT, 171 (11%) as NAT; 39 (2,4%) inflicted and 132 (8,1%) neglect. Of pre-school aged children (<5 years) 41% sustained NAT (OR26.73, 95%CI 17.70–40.35), 35/342 (10%) inflicted and 104/342 (31%) neglect. Admission due to ‘cardiopulmonary arrest’ was the result of inflicted trauma (30% vs 0%,p < 0.001). NAT had a higher mortality rate (16% vs 10%, p = 0.006). Indicators of NAT were: (near-)drowning (OR10.74, 95%CI 5.94–19.41), burn (OR8.62, 95%CI 4.08–18.19) and fall from height (OR2.18, 95%CI 1.56–3.02).ConclusionsNAT was the cause of polytrauma in 11% of children in our nationwide level-I TC study; 41% of these polytrauma were the result of NAT experienced by preschool-aged children. Our data show the importance of awareness for NAT.     

Impact of different types of olive oil on cardiovascular risk factors: A systematic review and network meta-analysis

Background and aimThis network meta-analysis (NMA) compares the effects of different types of olive oil (OO) on cardiovascular risk factors.Methods and resultsLiterature search was conducted on three electronic databases (Medline, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central). Inclusion criteria: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (≥3 weeks duration of intervention) comparing at least two of the following types of OO: refined OO (ROO), mixed OO (MOO), low phenolic (extra) virgin OO (LP(E)VOO), and high phenolic (extra) virgin OO (HP(E)VOO). Random-effects NMA was performed for seven outcomes; and surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) was estimated, using an analytical approach (P-score). Thirteen RCTs (16 reports) with 611 mainly healthy participants (mean age: 26–70 years) were identified. No differences for total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triacylglycerols, and diastolic blood pressure were observed comparing ROO, MOO, LP(E)VOO and HP(E)VOO. HP(E)VOO slightly reduce LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) compared to LP(E)VOO (mean difference [MD]: −0.14 mmol/L, 95%–CI: −0.28, −0.01). Both, HP(E)VOO and LP(E)VOO reduces SBP compared to ROO (range of MD: −2.99 to −2.87 mmHg), and HP(E)VOO may improve oxidized LDL-cholesterol (oxLDL-C) compared to ROO (standardized MD: −0.68, 95%–CI: −1.31, −0.04). In secondary analyses, EVOO may reduce oxLDL-C compared to ROO, and a dose-response relationship between higher intakes of phenolic compounds from OO and lower SBP and oxLDL-C values was detected. HP(E)VOO was ranked as best treatment for LDL-C (P-score: 0.83), oxLDL-C (0.88), and SBP (0.75).ConclusionsHP(E)VOO may improve some cardiovascular risk factors, however, public health implications are limited by overall low or moderate certainty of evidence.     

The influence of fasting and energy restricting diets on IGF-1 levels in humans: A systematic review and meta-analysis

BackgroundFasting and energy restricting diets have a potential means of delaying or preventing the onset of a range of age-related metabolic and neoplastic diseases. Consistently at the centre of this effect appears to be a significant reduction in circulating IGF-1 levels. The aim of the current systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the influence of fasting and energy restriction on IGF-1 levels in human subjects.MethodsA comprehensive systematic search was conducted from onset of the database to February 2019 in Embase, MEDLINE/PubMed, and SCOPUS to identify randomized clinical trials that investigating the impact of fasting or energy restriction circulating IGF-1 levels. Effect size was reported as weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) using a random-effects models. Subgroup analysis was performed to identify the probable source of heterogeneity among trials.ResultsTotal pooling of fasting and energy restriction randomised controlled trials in WMD analysis revealed no significant effect on circulating IGF-1 levels (WMD: −16.41 ng/ml, 95% CI: −35.88, 3.07). Sub grouped analysis fasting regimens appeared to substantially reduce IGF-1 (WMD: -28.87 ng/ml, 95% CI: −43.69, −14.05, I² = 00%), energy restricting regimens failed to do the same (WMD: -10.98 ng/ml, 95% CI: −33.08, 11.11, I² = 90%). Within this final subgrouping, it was observed that only energy restriction regimens of 50% or greater of normal daily energy intake were capable of significantly reducing IGF-1 levels (WMD: -36.57 ng/ml, 95% CI: −59.19, −13.95, I² = 00%). Finally, a meta regression were noted in which the percentage restriction of daily energy intake inversely correlated with plasma IGF-1 levels (p = 0.04).ConclusionThis study uncovered that fasting significantly reduced levels of IGF-1, while energy restriction diets were successful only when intake was reduced by 50% or more.

Utility of the relative apparent diffusion coefficient for preoperative assessment of low risk endometrial carcinoma

ObjectivesLymphadenectomy is not recommended for low risk stage I endometrial carcinoma (EC) patients. This study was to investigate the predictive value of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in predicting patients with low risk EC, and to identify an optimum ADC measurement for preoperative assessment.Materials and methodsEighty-one patients with stage I EC who underwent diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) at 1.5T were included and divided into low group and intermediate-high risk group based on the ESMO-ESGO-ESTRO classification. Clinical indexes, conventional MRI parameters, minimum ADC values (minADC), mean ADC values (meanADC) and relative ADC values (rADC) were compared between those two groups. rADC was calculated using the equation ADC (cancer)/ADC (reference) with the obturator internus muscle as reference. The optimal ADC measurement and cut-off ADC value for low risk EC were calculated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.ResultsThe low risk group had significantly higher meanADC, minADC, and rADC values than did the intermediate-high risk group (1.095 vs. 0.902 × 10⁻³ mm²/s, 0.755 vs. 0.657 × 10⁻³ mm²/s, 0.754 vs. 0.603, respectively). In assessments of low risk EC patients, the area under the curve (AUC) values for meanADC, minADC, and rADC were 0.840 (95%CI, 0.749,0.931), 0.681 (95% CI: 0.561,0.800), and 0.876(95% CI: 0.798,0.954), respectively. The optimal cut-off rADC value for prediction was 0.669, the maximum Youden index, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy values were 0.683, 81.8%, 86.5%, and 84.0%, respectively.ConclusionsrADC is superior to minADC and meanADC for predicting patients with low risk EC, and could potentially aid to the surgical management of these patients in avoiding unnecessary lymphadenectomy.
