Chinese expert consensus on the clinical application of the Chinese modified triplet combination with irinotecan, oxaliplatin and continuous infusional 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin for colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer is the second most common malignant tumor in China. The FOLFOXIRI regimen, which combines 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan, is a high-intensity and highly effective chemotherapy regimen. However, the original regimen is poorly tolerated in Chinese patients. In order to promote the standardized and rational application of FOLFOXIRI regimen by clinicians in China, "Chinese Expert Consensus on the Clinical Application of the Chinese Modified Triplet Combination with Irinotecan, Oxaliplatin, and Continuous Infusional 5-Fluorouracil/Leucovorin for Colorectal Cancer" was formulated by the Committee of Colorectal Cancer in Chinese Southwest Oncology Group. Based on the mechanism underlying the combined three drugs and toxicity profile, the dosage of Chinese modified FOLFOXIRI (cmFOLFOXIRI) regimen and the management of related adverse reactions is proposed. This consensus recommended that the FOLFOXIRI regimen be used in neoadjuvant, conversion, and palliative therapy for colorectal cancer under specific conditions. This consensus aimed to drive the application of cmFOLFOXIRI in the field of colorectal cancer, in order to bring benefits to CRC patients and improve the treatment efficacy.

Expert consensus on the China Pertussis Initiative

Some countries with high coverage of diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis combined vaccines have experienced pertussis epidemics and/or local outbreaks since 1980s. This phenomenon is called "pertussis resurgence". In recent years, pertussis epidemics in several provinces of China have resurged dramatically, arousing great concern from all parties. By referring the working model of the Global Pertussis Initiative, the Chinese Preventive Medicine Association has organized and launched the China Pertussis Initiative. A group of experts in this field has analyzed data of current pertussis in China and identified problems posed by the disease. This expert consensus was completed based on the discussions of the latest national and international research progeress, epidemiological trends and immunization strategies of pertussis, with special aims to provide guidance for the surveillance, prevention and control of pertussis in China.

Expert consensus on clinical detection of rheumatoid arthritis related autoantibodies

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common chronic and systemic autoimmune disease. Early diagnosis and standard treatment are the keys to control the disease and improve the prognosis. A variety of autoantibodies such as rheumatoid factor and anti-citrullinated peptide/protein antibodies can be detected in serum of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, which are important for early diagnosis and differential diagnosis of RA, judgment of disease severity and prognosis evaluation. The standardization of autoantibody detection related to rheumatoid arthritis is very important for its clinical application. Under the organization of the Committee of the Autoantibodies Detection of Rheumatology and Immunology Physicians Committee of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, expert consensus on clinical application of rheumatoid arthritis related autoantibodies detection were established by a joint group of Chinese multi-disciplinary experts. The consensus aims to standardize the detection of RA associated autoantibodies, and to provide a reference for clinicians and laboratory technicians to use and interpret rheumatoid arthritis-related autoantibodies in daily practice.

Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of prosthetic joint infection

Prosthetic joint infection is one of the most serious complications after artificial joint replacement.Accurate diagnosis and proper standardized treatment are the keys to improve the cure rate of prosthetic joint infection,reduce the rate of recurrence and disability,and restore limb function.Regarding the diagnosis and treatment of prosthetic joint infection,although relevant research has progressed rapidly in recent years,there are still many problems that have not been well understood and explained,and there are still big differences and controversies in many aspects.This has brought a lot of confusion to clinicians during their daily practice.In order to make the diagnosis and treatment of prosthetic joint infection in China more standardized,a group of domestic experts in related fields was organized by the Joint Surgery Committee of the Chinese Orthopaedic Association to search the literature and integrate expert opinions,and compiled the "Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of prosthetic joint infection".Those most important and clinically concerned issues are elaborated,including the diagnostic criteria, standardized diagnostic algorithm,proper application of important tests,treatment principles,and the correct selection of various treatment options.Targeted and actionable recommendations are proposed.This guideline is expected to provide references for domestic colleagues in the diagnosis and treatment of prosthetic joint infection.

Knowledge, attitudes and practices during the second wave of COVID-19 outbreak: a cross-sectional study from various perspectives.

Aim To investigate knowledge, attitudes and practice towards COVID-19 among selected population. Methods An anonymous online questionnaire based on a Chinese study was distributed via online social media platforms among general population of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany, India, Kosovo and Romania. Results In total 1032 subjects, predominately females, 615 (59.6%) with a mean age of 31.23±12.94 years, single, 705 (68.3%), with high school degree or lower, 469 (45.4%), students, 528 (51.1%) and living in an urban environment, 824 (79.8%), have completed the survey. The median knowledge score was 10.0 (range 0-12). Being male (β: -0.437; p=0.003) and older (β: -0.028; p<0.001) were associated with lower knowledge scores, while being single (β: 1.026; p<0.001) and mental labour employee (β: 0.402; p=0.032) were associated with higher knowledge scores. The vast majority of subjects had not visited crowded places, 630 (61.0%) and wearing masks when they were going out, 928 (89.9%). Being female (OR=0.731; p=0.022), having higher knowledge scores (OR=0.929; p=0.017) and being a mental labour employee (OR=0.713; p=0.031) decreased the exposure to crowded places. High school or lower education level (OR=0.616; p=0.024) decreased the action of wearing a mask in public places, while higher knowledge scores (OR=1.112; p=0.013) increased it. Conclusion Our study suggests that residents of the selected regions have had good knowledge, pessimistic attitudes and relatively appropriate practices towards COVID-19 during the second wave of the outbreak.
