    查看更多>>摘要:Bacille Calmette-Guérin(BCG)vaccine is designed to provide protection against tuberculosis(TB).However,numerous epidemiological,clinical,and immunological studies have shown that BCG vaccination affects neonatal and infant mortality,which may be related to the reduction of TB-unrelated infections and diseases by BCG vaccine.We aimed to discuss the off-target effects of BCG vaccine on un-TB infections and diseases,as well as the potential mechanism and influencing factors.Literature was retrieved mainly from PubMed using medical subject headings"BCG,variations,and non-specific,heterologous or off-target".Studies have showed that BCG vaccination can prevent various heterologous infections,including respiratory tract infections,leprosy,and malaria,treat viral infections including human papillomavirus and herpes simplex virus infection as immunotherapy,and improve the immune responses as vaccine adjuvant.Besides,BCG vaccine can reduce the recurrence rate of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer,and may provide protection against autoimmune diseases.These off-target effects of BCG vaccine are thought to be achieved by modulating heterologous lymphocyte responses or inducing trained immunity,which were found to be sex-differentiated and affected by the BCG vaccine strains,sequence or time of vaccination.

    查看更多>>摘要:Background:The association and its population heterogeneities between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality remain unknown.We aimed to examine the dose-dependent associations of LDL-C levels with specific types of cardiovascular disease(CVD)mortality and heterogeneities in the associations among different population subgroups.Methods:A total of 2,968,462 participants aged 35-75 years from China Health Evaluation And risk Reduction through nation-wide Teamwork(ChinaHEART)(2014-2019)were included.Cox proportional hazard models and Fine-Gray subdistribution hazard models were used to estimate associations between LDL-C categories(<70.0,70.0-99.9,100.0-129.9[reference group],130.0-159.9,160.0-189.9,and ≥190.0 mg/dL)and all-cause and cause-specific mortality.Results:During a median follow-up of 3.7 years,57,391 and 23,241 deaths from all-cause and overall CVD were documented.We observed J-shaped associations between LDL-C and death from all-cause,overall CVD,coronary heart disease(CHD),and ischemic stroke,and an L-shaped association between LDL-C and hemorrhagic stroke(HS)mortality(P for non-linearity<0.001).Compared with the reference group(100.0-129.9 mg/dL),very low LDL-C levels(<70.0 mg/dL)were significantly associated with increased risk of overall CVD(hazard ratio[HR]:1.10,95%confidence interval[CI]:1.06-1.14)and HS mortality(HR:1.37,95%CI:1.29-1.45).Very high LDL-C levels(≥190.0 mg/dL)were associated with increased risk of overall CVD(HR:1.51,95%CI:1.40-1.62)and CHD mortality(HR:2.08,95%CI:1.92-2.24).The stronger associations of very low LDL-C with risk of CVD mortality were observed in individuals with older age,low or normal body mass index,low or moderate 10-year atherosclerotic CVD risk,and those without diagnosed CVD or taking statins.Stronger associations between very high LDL-C levels and all-cause and CVD mortality were observed in younger people.Conclusions:People with very low LDL-C had a higher risk of all-cause,CVD,and HS mortality;those with very high LDL-C had a higher risk of all-cause,CVD,and CHD mortality.On the basis of our findings,comprehensive health assessment is needed to evaluate cardiovascular risk and implement appropriate lipid-lowering therapy for people with very low LDL-C.

    查看更多>>摘要:Background:To date,there is still a lack of standardized management strategies for gastric low-grade dysplasia(LGD),which is a direct neoplastic precancerous lesion and requires specifically superficial destruction.Radiofrequency ablation(RFA)is expected to be an effective method for gastric LGD,but post-RFA pain may affect patients'satisfaction and compliance.The current study aimed to evaluate the value of a submucosal injection prior to RFA(SI-RFA)for postoperative pain and treatment outcomes.Methods:Between October 2014 and July 2021,gastric LGDs without risk factors(size>2 cm,unclear boundary,and abnormal microsurface and microvascularity)undergoing regular RFA and SI-RFA were retrospectively analyzed.Postoperative pain scores,wound healing,and clinical efficacy were compared.Propensity score matching,stratified analysis,and multivariable logistic regression were performed to control the confounding variables.Results:One hundred and ninety-seven gastric LGDs in 151 patients received regular RFA.Forty-nine gastric LGDs in 36 patients received SI-RFA.Thirty-six pairs of patients were selected for the assessment of postoperative pain by propensity score matching.Compared to regular RFA,SI-RFA significantly decreased the degree and duration of postoperative pain(OR,0.32;95%CI,0.13-0.84;P=0.020),improved wound healing rate(80.0%[36/45]vs.58.9%[89/151],P=0.012),increased the complete ablation rate(91.8%[45/49]vs.86.3%[170/197],x2=1.094,P=0.295),but correlated with higher rates of local recurrence and progression(25.6%[10/39]vs.13.2%[18/136],x2=3.471,P=0.062;8.3%[3/36]vs.0.9%[1/116],P=0.042).The multivariable logistic regression model confirmed that submucosal injection was associated with local recurrence(OR,2.93;95%CI,1.13-7.58;P=0.027).Conclusions:Submucosal injections prior to RFA may reduce postoperative pain and scar formation while ensuring complete ablation of gastric LGD.However,local recurrence and progression should be considered seriously.

    查看更多>>摘要:Background:Endoscopic papillectomy(EP)is recommended as the first-line therapy for ampullary tumors,despite a relatively high incidence of complications.Pancreatic and/or biliary stents are placed at the endoscopist's discretion to prevent post-EP complications.The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of different stents.Methods:A total of 117 patients who underwent EP and met the criteria between June 2006 and October 2022 were enrolled in the study.These patients were divided into a pancreatic stent group(PS group,n=47),a biliary stent group(BS group,n=38),and a two-stent group(PBS[PS and BS]group,n=32).Relevant clinical data were collected and compared among the three groups.Multivariate logistic analyses were performed to explore risk factors for post-EP complications.Results:The incidence of all complications was 37.6%(44/117).Pancreatitis and hemorrhage were the two most common complications with incidence rates of 14.5%(17/117)and 17.9%(21/117).The incidence rates of post-EP pancreatitis were 10.6%(5/47),23.7%(9/38),and 9.4%(3/32)in the PS group,BS group,and PBS group,respectively,with no significant differences.There were also no significant differences in other complications among the three groups.Age(odds ratio[OR]:0.95;95%confidence interval[CI]:0.91-0.99;P=0.022)was independently associated with post-EP pancreatitis while tumor size(OR:1.66;95%CI:1.06-2.60;P=0.028)was independently associated with post-EP hemorrhage.Conclusions:While pancreatic stenting is the first choice to prevent post-EP pancreatitis,biliary stenting could also be considered as a substitute for patients with difficulties in pancreatic cannulation.Two-stent(biliary and pancreatic stent)placement is unnecessary unless it is required due to other concerns.
