Article Abstract

Pneumococcal disease (PD) caused by () continues to be a global public health concern. Monitoring the prevalence and shift of serotypes causing PD is critical for vaccination and local policies for PD management. A systematic review of published work on pneumococcal serotype distribution in the Chinese Mainland from January 1997 to July 2023 was conducted. The literature was searched in Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wanfang. Distribution of the serogroups/serotypes was presented as count and proportion. Pooled distributions were calculated using a double arcsine transformation. Subgroup analyses were performed according to isolate location, strain source, patient age, period, and clinical manifestation. In total 36,477 isolates in 159 studies were included. In the Chinese Mainland, the highest proportion of in PD was serotype 19F, followed by 19A, 23F, 14 and 6B. Serotype 19F was the most predominant circulating serotype through all time periods. PD cases caused by non-vaccine serotypes showed a significant increase after 2019. In summary, from 1997 to 2023, the top 10 prevalent serotypes causing PD in the Chinese Mainland were 19F, 19A, 6, 23F, 14, 6B, 6A, 3, 15B, and 9 V. Although the distribution of serotypes varied according to the subgroups, the increase in non-vaccine serotypes (e.g. 15A), and diversity distribution of serotypes 6A and 3 in different age groups should not be ignored.

Background: Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) enhances material differentiation by leveraging energy-dependent attenuation properties particularly for carbon ion therapy. Accurate estimation of tissue elemental composition via DECT can improve quantification of physical and biological doses.

Objective: This study proposed a novel machine-learning-based DECT (ML-DECT) method to predict the physical density and mass ratios of H, C, N, O, P, and Ca.

The efficacy of trastuzumab deruxtecan in Chinese breast cancer patients: a real-world multicenter study.

Department of Medical Oncology, Qilu Hospital, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong, China.

Introduction: In mainland China, trastuzumab deruxtecan was first authorized in February 2023 as a monotherapy for the treatment of patients with HER-2-positive adult breast cancer who were either unresectable or had metastasized after receiving one or more anti-HER-2 treatments. In July 2023, trastuzumab deruxtecan was approved for the treatment of patients with metastatic disease who had undergone at least one previous systemic therapy, as well as those with unresectable or metastatic adult breast cancer who had low expression of HER-2 and who had experienced a relapse within six months of finishing adjuvant chemotherapy.

Methods: The study included seven participants with HER-2 low expression breast cancer and eighteen participants with HER-2-positive advanced breast cancer from six study centers in Shandong Province, China.
