新冠肺炎临床评价核心指标集比较分析＊

目的 对已公开发表的新冠肺炎核心指标集及其研究方法进行比较分析，为临床试验和证据转化研究提供参考信息。方法 计算机检索COMET数据库，并补充检索CNKI、WanFang、PubMed、Web of Science、The Cochrane Library等数据库，收集发表的新型冠状病毒肺炎（Coronavirus Disease 2019，COVID-19）核心指标集（Core Outcome Set，COS）研究，检索时间截至为2021年3月31日。按照纳入排除标准筛选文献，并提取研究基本信息、研究方法及指标数据，对其进行描述性分析。结果 共纳入5项COVID-19核心指标集相关研究（4项为COVID-19-COS研究，1项为COVID-19核心指标测量工具研究）。相同的结局指标包括死亡率、病毒核酸检测、临床进展、恢复期、临床症状评分及临床分型等。指标来源主要来自临床试验注册平台和问卷调查；达成共识的方法主要采用共识会议；利益相关群体中临床专家、方法学专家和医疗管理人员涉及较多。结论 不同的新冠肺炎核心指标集研究有一定的共性，但由于应用场景不同，也存在一定差异。随着对疾病认识的深化，相关COVID-19核心指标需要加强测量方法和疗程推荐。     

Advancement of chimeric antigen receptor-natural killer cells targeting hepatocellular carcinoma

With the advance of genome engineering technology, chimeric antigen receptors (CARs)-based immunotherapy has become an emerging therapeutic strategy for tumors. Although initially designed for T cells in tumor immunotherapy, CARs have been exploited to modify the function of natural killer (NK) cells against a variety of tumors, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). CAR-NK cells have the potential to sufficiently kill tumor antigen-expressing HCC cells, independent of major histocompatibility complex matching or prior priming. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in genetic engineering of CAR-NK cells against HCC and discuss the current challenges and prospects of CAR-NK cells as a revolutionary cellular immunotherapy against HCC.

Optimize the management of urological tube-related emergencies during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic

BackgroundTo introduce and determine the value of optimized strategies for the management of urological tube-related emergencies with increased incidence, complexity and operational risk during the global spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).MethodsAll emergent urological patients at Tongji Hospital, Wuhan, during the period of January 23 (the beginning of lockdown in Wuhan) to March 23, 2020, and the corresponding period in 2019 were recruited to form this study’s COVID-19 group and control group, respectively. Tongji Hospital has the most concentrated and strongest Chinese medical teams to treat the largest number of severe COVID-19 patients. Patients in the control group were routinely treated, while patients in the COVID-19 group were managed following the optimized principles and strategies. The case incidence for each type of tube-related emergency was recorded. Baseline characteristics and management outcomes (surgery time, secondary complex operation rate, readmission rate, COVID-19 infection rate) were analyzed and compared across the control and COVID-19 periods.ResultsThe total emergent urological patients during the COVID-19 period was 42, whereas during the control period, it was 124. The incidence of tube-related emergencies increased from 53% to 88% (P<0.001) during the COVID-19 period. In particular, the incidence of nephrostomy tube-related (31% vs. 15%, P=0.027) and single-J stent-related problems (19% vs. 6%, P=0.009) increased significantly. The mean surgery times across the two periods were comparable. The number of secondary complex operations increased from 12 (18%) to 14 (38%) (P=0.028) during the COVID 19-period. The number of 2-week postoperative readmission decreased from 10 (15%) to 1 (3%) (P=0.049). No participants contracted during the COVID-19 period.ConclusionsUrological tube-related emergencies have been found to have a higher incidence and require more complicated and dangerous operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the optimized management strategies introduced in this study are efficient, and safe for both urologists and patients.     

黄芩素调控 NLRP3 / Caspase-1 通路对牙周炎大鼠牙槽骨吸收的影响

目的 探索黄芩素调控核苷酸结合寡聚化结构域样受体蛋白 3 ( nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3, NLRP3) / 半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶 1 ( cysteine aspartate protease 1, Caspase1) 通路对牙周炎大鼠牙槽骨吸收的影响。 方法 将 40 只牙周炎大鼠随机分为模型组、 黄芩素组、 激活剂 组、 黄芩素 + 激活剂组, 另取 10 只正常作为对照组。 检测大鼠釉牙骨质界到牙槽嵴顶 (CEJ-AC) 的距离、 血清中白细胞介素-6 (IL-6)、 转化生长因子-β (TGF-β) 含量以及牙周组织病理变化、 IL-6、 TGF-β 阳性 表达和 NLRP3、 Caspase-1 蛋白表达。 结果 模型组大鼠 CEJ-AC、 NLRP3、 Caspase-1、 IL-6、 TGF-β 水平及 阳性表达水平以及蛋白表达水平均升高 (P< 0. 05); 经黄芩素干预后, 各项指标均降低 (P< 0. 05); 引入 激活剂明显削弱了黄芩素对牙周炎大鼠的抗炎作用。 结论 黄芩素通过抑制 NLRP3 / Caspase-1 通路减轻炎性反应, 控制牙槽骨吸收。     

新型降脂药人前蛋白转化酶枯草溶菌素 9抑制剂与动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病、静脉血栓栓塞疾病关系的研究进展

随着生活方式的改变，心脑血管疾病逐渐成为全人类死亡的“头号杀手”高于恶性肿瘤、糖尿病等。血脂的升高尤其是低密度脂蛋白胆固醇( LDL-C)的升高与动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病( ASCVD)的发，生、发展息息相关。现有的专家共识、南提出他汀类药物是降低 LDL-C的一线用药，但仍可能会发生复发性缺血事件。人前蛋白转化酶枯草溶菌素 9(PCSK9)抑制指剂作为一类新型降脂药，有显著降低血 LDL-C水平，同时又可降低脂蛋白( a)的水平，又与 ASCVD与静脉血栓栓塞疾病( VTE)的发病可能相关。本文将系统地阐述新型降脂药 PCSK9抑制剂与 ASCVD、VTE的关系研究进展。
