    Abstract: This retrospective cohort study investigated the efficacy of routine intravenous chemotherapy (the control group), transcatheter arterial infusion (TAI) chemotherapy, and TAI combined with radioactive particles as therapeutic methods for advanced body/tail pancreatic cancer by assessing the short-term and overall survival rates. Methods We screened our prospective database for patients with advanced body/tail pancreatic cancer, which tumor deemed unresectable, and no other confirmed malignant tumors, patients were assigned into 3 groups according to their treatment: routine intravenous chemotherapy, TAI, and TAI combined with radioactive particles. Results The median survival time was 6 months in the control group, 10 months in the TAI group, and 13 months in the TAI combined group. The Kaplan-Meier estimates of the overall survival among the 3 groups, indicating that there is significant difference among 3 groups ( P 〈 0.000). The clinical remission rates were 17.5% in the control group, 41.5% in the TAI group, and 48.0% in the TAI combined group. Covariates analyzed showed that different treatment methods and times affected the results significantly ( P 〈 0.002). Conclusions In the treatment of advanced body/tail pancreatic cancer, TAI and TAI combined with radioactive particles significantly improved the clinical outcomes in patients compared with routine intravenous chemotherapy.

    Abstract: Lean body mass has been identified as a key determinant of left ventricular mass and wall thickness. However, the importance of lean body mass or other body‐size measures as normative determinants of carotid intima‐media thickness ( cIMT ), a widely used early indicator of atherosclerosis, has not been well established. Methods and Results Carotid artery ultrasound measurements of cIMT and carotid artery plaque burden (derived from plaque number and maximum size) and measurements of body size, including height, body mass index, weight, body fat proportion, and lean body mass ([1−body fat proportion]×weight), were recorded in 25 020 participants from 10 regions of China. Analyses were restricted to a healthy younger subset (n=6617) defined as never or long‐term ex‐regular smokers aged 〈 60 years (mean age, 50) without previous ischemic heart disease, stroke, diabetes mellitus, or hypertension and with plasma non‐high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol 〈 4 mmol/L. Among these 6617 participants, 86% were women (because most men smoked) and 9% had carotid artery plaque. In both women and men separately, lean body mass was strongly positively associated with cIMT , but was not associated with plaque burden: overall, each 10 kg higher lean body mass was associated with a 0.03 (95% CI , 0.03–0.04) mm higher cIMT ( P =5×10 −33 ). Fat mass, height, and other body‐size measures were more weakly associated with cIMT . Conclusions The strong association of lean body mass with cIMT, but not with plaque burden, in healthy adults suggests a normative relationship rather than reflecting atherosclerotic pathology. Common mechanisms may underlie the associations of lean body mass with cIMT and with nonatherosclerotic vascular traits.

    Abstract: Pyrrolizidine alkaloids-induced hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome(PA-HSOS) has been reported to have high mortality. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of anticoagulation therapy for the patients with PA-HSOS. Methods We collected clinical data on 249 PA-HSOS patients from January 2012 to December 2017 at four tertiary care hospitals. Among them, 151 patients received anticoagulation therapy, and 98 patients received supportive treatment. The outcomes were analyzed using the Fine and Gray competing risk analysis method and Cox regression model. Results The cumulative complete response rate was higher in the anticoagulation group than in the supportive group (60.9 vs 36.7%; P 〈 0.0001). The cumulative mortality was 12.6% in the anticoagulation group compared with 43.9% in the supportive group ( P 〈 0.0001). In subgroup analysis, for mild, moderate, severe, and very severe groups, the adjusted hazard ratios [95% confidence interval (CI)] for complete response rates were 7.05 (3.00–16.59), 5.26 (2.31–12.42), 2.59 (0.85–7.87), and 2.05 (0.61–6.92), respectively; and the adjusted hazard ratios (95% CI) for mortalities were 0.02 (0.01–0.09), 0.04 (0.01–0.14), 0.19 (0.01–3.98), and 0.07 (0.02–1.27), respectively ( P 〈 0.0001). There was no significant difference between both groups in the incidence of bleeding events ( P = 0.674). Conclusions Anticoagulation therapy improves clinical remission and the survival in selected patients with mild or moderate PA-HSOS. Anticoagulation therapy has a similar safety profile to supportive therapy.

    Abstract: Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is one of the most serious complications of non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without standard treatment guidelines and is always accompanied by poor prognosis. Identifying the types of gene mutations is essential to improve the outcome, and an increasing number of rare epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR ) mutations are revealed by next-generation sequencing (NGS). Here, we describe a case of a 56-year-old man who was diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma and received thoracoscopic resection in May 2015. One year later, LM was confirmed by positive cerebrospinal fluid cytology. Given the existence of EGFR exon 19 deletions, erlotinib was implemented and achieved a short response for 10 months. Then the systemic therapy was changed to osimertinib and obtained clinical remission for 25 months. Owing to the resurgence of violent headache, retching and vomiting, NGS of cerebrospinal fluid was performed and two rare EGFR-SEPT14 fusions were found. Osimertinib combined bevacizumab, chemotherapy (carboplatin and abraxane) and dacomitinib were implemented in turn but ineffective. Thus, osimertinib combined intrathecal chemotherapy with pemetrexed were carried out and gained a complete remission of neurologic symptoms, stable lesions and long-term survival without notable side effects. This study presented the first case of NSCLC-LM harboring particular EGFR-SEPT14 fusions, who showed a durable response to osimertinib and intrathecal pemetrexed, providing a potential therapeutic option for NSCLC-LM patients with this particular mutation.

    Abstract: Polygonum multiflorum (PM) is a well‐known Chinese herbal medicine that has been reported to induce inflammation‐associated idiosyncratic liver injury. This study aimed to identify the genetic basis of susceptibility to PM‐drug‐induced liver injury (PM‐DILI) and to develop biological markers for predicting the risk of PM‐DILI in humans. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) regions of 11 patients with PM‐DILI were sequenced, and all human leukocyte antigen (HLA)–type frequencies were compared to the Han‐MHC database. An independent replication study that included 15 patients with PM‐DILI, 33 patients with other DILI, and 99 population controls was performed to validate the candidate allele by HLA‐B PCR sequence‐based typing. A prospective cohort study that included 72 outpatients receiving PM for 4 weeks was designed to determine the influence of the risk allele on PM‐DILI. In the pilot study, the frequency of HLA‐B*35:01 was 45.4% in PM‐DILI patients compared with 2.7% in the Han Chinese population (odds ratio [OR], 30.4; 95% confidence interval [CI] , 11.7‐77.8; P  = 1.9 × 10 −10 ). In the independent replication study and combined analyses, a logistic regression model confirmed that HLA‐B*35:01 is a high‐risk allele of PM‐DILI (PM‐DILI versus other DILI, OR, 86.5; 95% CI, 14.2‐527.8, P = 1.0 × 10 −6 ; and PM‐DILI versus population controls, OR, 143.9; 95% CI, 30.1‐687.5, P = 4.8 × 10 −10 ). In the prospective cohort study, an asymptomatic increase in transaminase levels was diagnosed in 6 patients, representing a significantly higher incidence (relative risk, 8.0; 95% CI, 1.9‐33.2; P   〈  0.02) in the HLA‐B*35:01 carriers (37.5%) than in the noncarriers (4.7%). Conclusion : The HLA‐B*35:01 allele is a genetic risk factor for PM‐DILI and a potential biomarker for predicting PM‐DILI in humans.

    Abstract: We aimed to develop a risk score (intracerebral hemorrhage–associated pneumonia score, ICH-APS) for predicting hospital-acquired stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) after ICH. Methods— The ICH-APS was developed based on the China National Stroke Registry (CNSR), in which eligible patients were randomly divided into derivation (60%) and validation (40%) cohorts. Variables routinely collected at presentation were used for predicting SAP after ICH. For testing the added value of hematoma volume measure, we separately developed 2 models with (ICH-APS-B) and without (ICH-APS-A) hematoma volume included. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify independent predictors. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), Hosmer–Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, and integrated discrimination index were used to assess model discrimination, calibration, and reclassification, respectively. Results— The SAP was 16.4% and 17.7% in the overall derivation (n=2998) and validation (n=2000) cohorts, respectively. A 23-point ICH-APS-A was developed based on a set of predictors and showed good discrimination in the overall derivation (AUROC, 0.75; 95% confidence interval, 0.72–0.77) and validation (AUROC, 0.76; 95% confidence interval, 0.71–0.79) cohorts. The ICH-APS-A was more sensitive for patients with length of stay 〉 48 hours (AUROC, 0.78; 95% confidence interval, 0.75–0.81) than those with length of stay 〈 48 hours (AUROC, 0.64; 95% confidence interval, 0.55–0.73). The ICH-APS-A was well calibrated (Hosmer–Lemeshow test) in the derivation ( P =0.20) and validation ( P =0.66) cohorts. Similarly, a 26-point ICH-APS-B was established. The ICH-APS-A and ICH-APS-B were not significantly different in discrimination and reclassification for SAP after ICH. Conclusion— The ICH-APSs are valid risk scores for predicting SAP after ICH, especially for patients with length of stay 〉 48 hours.

    Abstract: The clinical benefit of intravenous (IV) alteplase in acute ischemic stroke is time dependent. We assessed the overall temporal changes in door-to-needle (DTN) time and examine the factors associated with DTN time ≤60 and ≤45 minutes. Methods and Results: A total of 496 336 acute ischemic stroke admissions were identified in the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program from 2008 to 2017. We used generalized estimating equations models to examine the factors associated with DTN time ≤60 and ≤45 minutes, and calculated adjusted odds ratios and 95% CI. Between 2008 and 2017, the percentage of acute ischemic stroke patients who received IV alteplase including those transferred, increased from 6.4% to 15.3%. After excluding those who received IV alteplase at an outside hospital, a total of 39 737 (8%) acute ischemic stroke patients received IV alteplase within 4.5 hours of the time the patient last known to be well. Significant increases were seen in DTN time ≤60 minutes (26.4% in 2008 to 66.2% in 2017, P 〈 0.001), as well as DTN time ≤45 minutes (10.7% in 2008 to 40.5% in 2017, P 〈 0.001). Patients aged 55 to 84 years were more likely to receive IV alteplase within 60 minutes, while those aged 55 to 74 years were more likely to receive IV alteplase within 45 minutes, as compared with those aged 18 to 54 years. Arrival by emergency medical service, and patients with severe stroke were more likely to receive IV alteplase within 60 and 45 minutes. Conversely, women, black patients as compared with white, and patients with a medical history of diseases associated with stroke were less likely to receive DTN time ≤60 or 45 minutes. Conclusions: Rapid improvements in DTN time were observed in the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program; however, opportunities to reduce disparities remain.
