    Abstract: e18011 Background: Distant metastasis is the main cause of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) related death while there are few treatment options for it. How to further improve the survival of NPC patients with distant metastases is an urgent problem to be solved in clinical practice. This study investigated the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy in combination with anlotinib (a multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor), toripalimab, and stereotactic radiotherapy(SBRT) in treatment of metastatic NPC. Methods: This is a prospective, multi-centered, single-arm, phase II trial (ChiECRCT20210147). Patients with histologically confirmed non-keratinous carcinoma and post-treatment metastatic NPC (stage IVb, AJCC 8th) who had no local recurrence and received no systemic antitumor therapy for metastatic lesions previously were enrolled. No more than 5 metastatic lesions (metastatic sites include lung, liver, bone, etc.), and with at least one measurable target lesion according to RECIST1.1. Other inclusion criteria included 18-65 years old and ECOG 0-1. All patients received gemcitabine (1000 mg/m 2 , ivgtt, d1/8), cisplatin (80 mg/m 2 , ivgtt, d1), toripalimab (240mg, ivgtt, d1) and anlotinib (12mg, oral, qd, d1-14) every 3 weeks for 6 cycles, then followed by toripalimab (240mg, ivgtt, d1) and anlotinib (12mg, oral, qd, d1-14) every 3 weeks for 11 cycles. The SBRT was initiated after 2 cycles of chemotherapy (bone GTV 30-45Gy/3-5f, liver and lung GTV 45-60Gy/4-6f). The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). Here we report the results of a preliminary analysis. Results: Between January 2022 and January 2023, a total of 19 patients were enrolled (13 males and 6 females), the median age was 46 years old. At the data cutoff date on January 31, 2023, 15 patients were eligible for the evaluation of tumor response with metastatic lesions. 100% of the patients (15 of 15) had a response and the confirmed ORR was 100% (complete response, n = 4; partial response, n = 11) for metastatic lesions. The most common treatment-related adverse events (TRAE) of any grade were leukopenia (15 of 15,100%), anaemia(13 of 15, 93.3%), decreased appetite (10 of 15, 66.7%), hypothyroidism (6 of 15, 40.0%), rash(5 of 15, 33.3%) and pneumonitis (5 of 15, 33.3%). Grade 3-4 TRAE included leukopenia (3 of 15, 20.0%) and no fatal adverse events occurred. Conclusions: This preliminary analysis indicated that chemotherapy combined with anlotinib, toripalimab, and stereotactic radiotherapy had promising efficacy and favorable tolerance as treatment of oligo-metastatic NPC.

    Abstract: 6061 Background: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) is currently considered to be the standard treatment for locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC), accompanied with non-neglectable toxicity and unsatisfactory compliance. Therefore, it is highly warranted to explore an alternative regimen for LA-NPC. This trial aimed to assess and investigate the efficacy and safety of recombinant human endostatin ( Rh-endostatin) with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for low-risk LA-NPC. Methods: Patients with low-risk LA-NPC were randomly assigned into ERT group (n=60, receiving Rh-endostatin plus radiotherapy) and CCRT group (n=60, receiving cisplatin plus radiotherapy). The primary endpoint was the 5-year overall survival (OS). Non-inferiority was shown if the upper limit of the 95% CI for the difference in 5-year OS between the ERT group and CCRT group did not exceed 15%. The secondary endpoint was 3-year progression-free survival (PFS). Results: A total of 120 patients were included in the trial. After a median follow-up of 71 months (IQR 62-75), the 5-year OS rate was 88.1% in the ERT group and 77.6% in the CCRT group, with a difference of 10.5% (95% CI: -0.03 to 0.24; P non -inferiority = 0.002). Patients in the ERT group had better 3-year PFS than that in the CCRT group (89.8% vs 70.6%; HR = 0.362; 95% CI: 0.150-0.873; P log-rank = 0.018). The overall all-grade toxicity burdens were heavier in CCRT group. No patients died of treatment-related causes. Conclusions: Rh-endostatin combined with IMRT had favorable efficacy, fewer toxic effects and more improved quality of life, which might be a promising alternative regimen to CCRT for low-risk LA-NPC in clinic.

    Abstract: Nanocomposites composed of polypropylene (PP), organoclay, ethylene acrylic acid (EAA), and maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (PP- g-MA) were prepared using the melt mixing technique, and their thermal stability properties were investigated. PP- g-MA and EAA were used as compatibilizers in the nanocomposites. The effects of different concentrations of organoclay on the physical properties of nanocomposites were investigated. The kinetics of PP/organoclay nanocomposite degradation were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis, the activation energy of nanocomposite system was confirmed by the Kissinger method, and the performance of nanocomposites was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, ARES rheometer, and transmission electron microscopy. The test results show that the addition of organoclay can improve the thermal stability of PP/organoclay nanocomposites, and the activation energy is slightly improved; rheological analysis shows that as the organoclay is gradually added to the composite system; the fluidity of PP and the processing properties are improved. In addition, the mechanical properties were measured, and it was found that an appropriate organoclay content can effectively improve the mechanical properties of nanocomposites.

    Abstract: People living with chronic disease, particularly seniors (≥60 years old), made up of most severe symptom and death cases among SARS-CoV-2 infected patients. However, they are lagging behind in the national COVID-19 vaccination campaign in China due to the uncertainty of vaccine safety and effectiveness. Safety and immunogenicity data of COVID-19 vaccines in people with underlying medical conditions are needed to address the vaccine hesitation in this population. Methods We included participants (≥40 years old) who received two doses of CoronaVac inactivated vaccines (at a 3–5 week interval) and were healthy or had at least one of 6 common chronic diseases. The incidence of adverse events after vaccination was monitored. Vaccine immunogenicity was studied by determining neutralizing antibodies and SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell responses post vaccination. Results Here we show that chronic diseases are associated with a higher rate of mild fatigue following the first dose of CoronaVac. By day 14–28 post vaccination, the neutralizing antibody level shows no significant difference between disease groups and healthy controls, except for people with coronary artery disease (p = 0.0287) and chronic respiratory disease ( p  = 0.0416), who show moderate reductions. Such differences diminish by day 90 and 180. Most people show detectable SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell responses at day 90 and day 180 without significant differences between disease groups and healthy controls. Conclusions Our results highlight the comparable safety, immunogenicity and cellular immunity memory of CoronaVac in seniors and people living with chronic diseases. This data should reduce vaccine hesitancy in this population.

    Abstract: Reduce the effects in the storage‐and‐thawing process of commercial control materials based on their interchangeability evaluation. Methods Seven assays—anti‐streptolysin O, complement 3, carcinoembryonic antigen, urea, ferritin, total bilirubin, and glucose—were selected. Commercial control materials and serum samples with similar concentrations were chosen as samples. The experiment was carried out in three stages. In the first stage, the assays with statistical differences in imprecision were screened. In the second stage, two specimens were sealed with parafilm and frozen at −80°C and thawed in the water bath, and the imprecision differences were compared again. Finally, the effective means to reduce the effects were included in the standard operating procedure to repeat confirmation. Results In the first stage, there was only a statistical difference ( p   〈  0.05) in the imprecision of glucose and total bilirubin between two specimens, and the imprecision of control materials was higher than the serum samples. In the second stage, glucose imprecision was not statistically different ( p   〉  0.05) and lower than in the first stage. In the third stage, the methods from the second stage were confirmed to be effective at reducing control material effects. Conclusion Finding variation factors and confirming and standardizing the measures will help lessen commercial control material effects.

    Abstract: The influence of epicatechin (EC) on the physicochemical properties and digestibility changes of porcine myofibrillar protein (MP) under oxidative stress during refrigerated storage was investigated. RESULTS The incubation of MP suspensions (20 mg mL −1 in piperazine‐ N , N ′‐bis(2‐ethanesulfonic acid) buffer, with 0.6 mol L −1 sodium chloride, pH 6.25) at 4 °C for 24 h under an iron‐catalyzed hydroxyl radical generating system (Fenton reaction) promoted the formation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and protein carbonyls, which was attenuated by EC (5, 50, and 100 μmol g −1 protein). Reduced protein sulfhydryl content, tryptophan fluorescence, protein solubility, as well as increased surface hydrophobicity were found by the co‐incubation of EC. Analysis by scanning electron microscopy revealed increased protein aggregation and fragments in oxidized MP, which were further enhanced by the addition of EC. However, the protein digestibility of MP was not affected. CONCLUSION EC was demonstrated to be effective in alleviating lipid oxidation and protein carbonylation in MP under oxidative stress. Additionally, the physicochemical and digestibility changes accompanying the incorporation of EC was complicated due to the possible phenol–protein interactions. An in‐depth understanding of protein physicochemical and digestibility changes will be helpful in the application of polyphenolic compounds as antioxidants in low‐temperature‐processed muscle foods. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

    Abstract: To retrospectively analyze the efficacy and safety of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) plus recombinant human endostatin (Endostar, CCRT + E) versus CCRT alone in locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LANPC). Methods A retrospective analysis of patients initially treated for LANPC from November 2016 to March 2019 was performed: trial group received CCRT + E and control group received CCRT. Prognoses and adverse effects were evaluated. Results Eighty-eight patients were included: 43 received CCRT + E and 45 received CCRT. The median follow-up time was 54.0 (range: 8.0–64.0) months. The survival data of the CCRT + E and CCRT groups were as follows: 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates, 81.4% and 63.6% (hazard ratio [HR] 0.418, 95%CI 0.181–0.963, P  = 0.034); 3-year distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) rates, 88.3% and 77.3% (HR 0.370, 95%CI 0.132–1.039, P  = 0.049); 3-year overall survival rates, 88.2% and 81.9% (HR 0.437, 95%CI 0.151–1.260, P  = 0.114); and 3-year locoregional failure-free survival rates, 87.8% and 86.9% (HR 0.795, 95%CI 0.242–2.616, P  = 0.705). Three months after radiotherapy, the complete response (CR) rates of cervical lymph node regression were 97.7% and 82.2% for the CCRT + E and CCRT groups ( P  = 0.041). The corresponding CR rates were 100% and 80.0% for lymph node necrosis ( P  = 0.001) and 100% and 85.2% for extranodal extension ( P  = 0.041). The CCRT + E group had higher incidence of grade 3/4 leukopenia (32.6% vs. 13.3%, P  = 0.031), with similar results for late toxicity. Conclusions CCRT + E significantly prolonged 3-year PFS and DMFS in LANPC, and patients had better lymph node regression.

    Abstract: Association between calcium intake and premature mortality in the general population has been well studied, but little is known about the association among specific populations. The authors aim to evaluate the association among people with hypertension and to provide a proper reference range of dietary calcium intake. This prospective cohort study included 8534 US adults with hypertension from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cycles 2003–2014. Dietary calcium intakes were self‐reported and mortality status was ascertained by National Death Index records. During a median follow‐up of 5.9 years, 1357 death occurred. Compared with participants of dietary calcium intake in quintile 1, participants in quintiles 2 and 4 had a 27% (HR: 0.73, 95% CI: 0.60–0.89) and a 29% lower risk (HR: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.57–0.88) of all‐cause mortality respectively. The authors also observed a 34% lower risk (HR: 0.66, 95% CI: 0.45–0.97) of CVD death among participants in quintile 3 and a 37% lower risk (HR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.40–0.99) of cancer‐related death in participants in quintile 4 respectively. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression revealed a consistent protective effect of dietary calcium in participants with a daily intake of over 1000 mg, but a daily intake over 1200 mg fails to show further protective effect. Our findings suggest that elevated dietary calcium was associated with lower mortality risk from all‐causes, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer, and supplying sufficient dietary calcium intake, between 1000 and 1200 mg per day, in people with hypertension may be considered cost‐effective to decrease risk of premature death.
