Computed tomography scan revealed no evidence of residual tumor.

As far as we know, this is the first report concerning concomitant fulvestrant with reirradiation for unresectable locoregional recurrent ER+ breast cancer. Since no severe adverse events were observed, this strategy could be a suitable "loco-regional rescue therapy" to further reduce tumor progression or even reach a curative effect. Studies of this treatment strategy in randomized clinical trials are warranted to further assess its safety and effectiveness.

By reviewing the literature published from Chinese database (CNKI, WANGFAN, VIP, CBM, CMCC) in 2000 to 2015 with the terms of "dsrct", "desmoplastic" and "small round-cell tumor",104 eligible cases of DSRCT(including 8 cases in our hospital) were retrospectively analyzed.Among the 104 patients, Median age was 24 years with a range of 15 to 54 years. The main primary tumor site was the abdomen and/or pelvis in 92/104 patients (88.5%). Only 25% of patients had localized disease. Most of the patients had received adjuvant chemotherapy (87.5%) and 76.9% patients had not experienced adjuvant radiotherapy. One-fourth of the patients underwent grossly complete surgical resection, and 33.7% and 41.3% patients received no surgery and incomplete surgical resection, respectively. Median overall survival for all patients was 26 months (95% CI 20.29-31.71). Multivariate analysis revealed that Metastatic status (HR 2.327, 95% CI 1.136-4.768, P = .021), Surgical patterns (HR 0.673, 95% CI 0.487-0.928, P = .016), and Adjuvant chemotherapy (HR 0.337, 95% CI 0.167-0.678, P = .002) were significant independent prognostic factors for longer overall survival. It was noteworthy that CD99 were significantly associated with OS (P = .002).Here, we identified the prognostic factors which may facilitate risk-adapted treatments for this rare DSRCT group, which should be further investigated.

Since the end of December 2019, the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic has occurred and spread rapidly throughout China. At present, China's epidemic situation has been basically controlled, but the number of cases worldwide is increasing day by day. On March 11, the WHO officially announced that the COVID-19 had become a global pandemic. However, there are currently limited data on pregnant women with COVID-19 pneumonia and their infants. In this paper, a case of a pregnant woman infected with COVID-19 pneumonia is reported.

We report a clinically confirmed COVID-19 pregnant woman. The patient was tested negative 4 times in nucleic acid test, but immunoglobulin G was positive and immunoglobulin M was negative before delivery, suggesting a previous infection.

The pregnant woman underwent a computed tomography scan of both lungs at 29 + 2 weeks of pregnancy, and scattered stiffness and frosted glass shadows of both lungs were observed. According to the diagnostic criteria for COVID- fetus.The aim of this study was to elucidate the possible association between migration inhibitory factor (MIF)-173G/C gene polymorphisms and transcript and plasma levels of MIF in spinal tuberculosis (TB) patients. Clinical data were collected from 254 spinal TB patients and 262 healthy controls participating in the study. The genotype of the MIF-173G/C gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and genotyped by DNA sequencing technology. The level of mRNA expression was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction and MIF plasma levels were measured by a solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The frequency of the C allele and GC+CC genotype in MIF-173G/C was over-represented in spinal TB patients. The mean MIF mRNA level in spinal TB patients and patients with the GG and GC+CC genotype were significantly lower than controls; however, our study also indicated that the MIF concentration in spinal TB patients and patients with the GG and GC+CC genotypes were significantly higher than controls. Spinal TB patients with the GG genotype had higher MIF plasma levels than patients with the GC+CC genotype. The C-reactive protein level and erythrocyte sedimentation rate was correlated with the MIF plasma level. In summary, the association between the MIF-173G/C genetic polymorphism, reduced transcript and increased plasma levels of MIF in spinal TB patients, and MIF may play an important role in the occurrence, development, and damage of spinal TB in the northern Province population of China.The purpose of this study was to report the clinicopathological characteristics and treatment outcomes of 45 rectal cancer patients who have a history of cervical cancer with or without remote radiotherapy. Twenty-nine patients (64.4%) with a history of cervical cancer treated with pelvic radiotherapy were classified as group A, 16 (35.6%) patients with a history of cervical cancer not treated with radiotherapy were classified as group B. The median duration between radiotherapy for cervical cancer and rectal adenocarcinoma diagnosis was 18 years. At the time of rectal cancer diagnosis, 5 (17.2%) patients presented stage I disease, 15 (51.7%) had stage II, 1 (3.4%) had stage III, and 8 (27.6%) had stage IV. The patients in group A had older age, higher rates of gross ulcerative lesions, low hemoglobin levels, and a lower rate of lymph node metastases. The patients with secondary rectal cancer developed after radiotherapy for cervical cancer usually presented with abnormal abdominal symptoms, such as proctitis, cystitis, or rectal fistula. Higher colostomy rate was found in this group of patients due to severe pelvic fibrosis or proctitis.The present study aimed to retrospectively analyze the survival outcomes and prognostic factors for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) receiving intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).Clinical data was collected from 691 patients with NPC receiving IMRT from January 2009 to August 2015. Mocetinostat solubility dmso A survival analysis was performed and prognostic factors were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method, the Cox proportional hazards regression model, and the log-rank test.The median follow-up time was 62.8 months. Sixty-three patients experienced relapse, 44 cases (70%) of which occurred within 3 years. Six cases (9.5%) remained in remission for over 5 years. Seventy-two patients developed metastasis, 63 cases (87.5%) of which occurred within 3 years and only 1 case occurred after 5 years (1.3%). Five-year disease special survival (DSS), progression free survival, locoregional recurrence free survival, and distant metastasis free survival were 86.5%, 82.5%, 90.7%, and 89.4%, respectively in patients with NPC. Patients with stage III NPC with and without induction chemotherapy had 5-year DSS rates of 95.8% and 89.3%, respectively (P = .00). Patients with stage IVa NPC with and without induction chemotherapy had 5-year DSS rates of 73.1% and 68.9%, respectively (P = .04). The 5-year DSS rates of patients with stage III with or without concurrent chemotherapy were 92.8% and 85.5%, respectively (P = .04). The 5-year DSS rates of patients with stage IV with or without concurrent chemotherapy were 72.7% and 53.0% (P = .02).IMRT improves the survival rate of patients with NPC. Recurrence and metastasis mainly occur within 2 to 3 years after radiotherapy. Induction and concurrent chemotherapy improve the 5-year DSS of patients with locally advanced NPC.

To systematically evaluate whether the expression level of long non-coding RNA activated by transforming growth factor-β (lncRNA-ATB) is correlated with the prognosis of digestive system cancer (DSC) patients.

PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Springerlink, Nature, and Karger databases were searched up to April 20, 2019 by 2 experienced researchers independently. The quality of studies was assessed with the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. The Review Manager 5.2 and STATA 12.0 software were used for this meta-analysis.

Eleven studies with 1227 DSC patients were included in the meta-analysis. Except for pancreatic cancer, high expression of lncRNA-ATB was associated with lymph node metastasis (risk ratio (RR) = 1.26, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.12-1.42, P < .001), advanced clinical staging (RR = 1.44, 95%CI 1.23-1.69, P < .001), reduced overall survival rate (OS) (hazard ratio (HR) = 2.33, 95%CI 1.22-4.50, P = .01), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) (HR = 2.61, 95%CI 1.46-4.65, P = .001) compared with low lncRNA-ATB expression in DSCs.

High expression of lncRNA-ATB was significantly correlated with poor prognosis for most DSCs. The expression level of lncRNA-ATB could be a promising prognostic biomarker for DSC patients.

Recently, these two scoring systems have been demonstrated to predict long- and short-term cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in many patient cohorts. However, to the best of our knowledge, their prognostic value has not been fully elucidated in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study aimed to investigate the association of CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores with CV outcomes in such patients.We included a total of 915 ACS patients undergoing PCI in this study. CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores were calculated from data collected before discharge. The primary endpoint was defined as a composite of major adverse CV events (MACE) including overall death, nonfatal stroke, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) and unplanned repeat revascularization. We assessed MACE's relationship to CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scorand significant predictor of MACE in ACS patients undergoing PCI, and its discriminatory performance was not inferior to those of GRACE Score and SS II.

Assessing the effectiveness and safety of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for symptoms of upper respiratory tract of coronavirus disease 2019 is the main purpose of this systematic review protocol.

The following electronic databases will be searched from inception to Sep 2020 the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, TCM, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese Scientific Journal Database (VIP database), and Wan-Fang Database. Search dates from inception dates to June 2020. Language English. Publication period from inception dates to June 2020. The primary outcome is the time and rate of appearance of main symptoms (including coughing, pharyngalgia, and nasal obstruction). The secondary outcome is the length of hospital stay. Two independent reviewers will conduct the study selection, data extraction and assessment. RevMan V.5.3 will be used for the assessment of risk of bias and data synthesis.

The results will provide a high-quality synthesis of current evidence for researchers in this subject area.
