Anemia is one of the common accompanying symptoms of tumors. Whether chemotherapy-related anemia （CRA） or anemia caused by the disease itself， it greatly affects patients' survival rate， quality of life， and even their confidence in treatment. Currently， Western medicine mainly treats CRA through blood product transfusion and the use of erythropoietin， which can rapidly increase hemoglobin levels but are associated with strong dependence and short duration of efficacy. Therefore， exploring the theoretical basis， treatment methods， and advantages of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） in managing CRA has become a focus of current research. According to recent clinical observations and related reports， TCM demonstrates favorable clinical efficacy in the treatment of CRA. By reviewing literature on classic TCM prescriptions for CRA， this article summarizes clinical cases， relevant pharmacological studies， and possible mechanisms of action. These analyses show that classic TCM prescriptions for CRA are mainly tonifying formulas， primarily those that tonify qi and blood and strengthen the spleen and kidney， and they offer clear therapeutic efficacy， high safety， and the potential to reduce toxicity and enhance effectiveness. In addition to tonifying formulas， modern prescriptions for CRA， such as those that promote blood circulation and remove stasis， promote new blood generation， and exert detoxifying and anticancer effects， have also been confirmed by clinical research to provide good therapeutic outcomes. By summarizing and analyzing the efficacy and mechanisms of classic TCM prescriptions for CRA and the clinical research status of modern formulas， this article aims to provide new strategies for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of CRA.

This paper outlines the development of artificial intelligence （AI） and its applications in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） research， and elucidates the roles and advantages of large language models， knowledge graphs， and natural language processing in advancing syndrome identification， prescription generation， and mechanism exploration. Using spleen-stomach diseases as an example， it demonstrates the empowering effects of AI in classical literature mining， precise clinical syndrome differentiation， efficacy and safety prediction， and intelligent education， highlighting an upgraded research paradigm that evolves from data-driven and knowledge-driven approaches to intelligence-driven models. To address challenges related to privacy protection and regulatory compliance in cross-institutional data collaboration， a "trusted federated evidence-based analysis platform for TCM spleen-stomach diseases" is proposed， integrating blockchain-based smart contracts， federated learning， and secure multi-party computation. The deep integration of AI with privacy-preserving computing is reshaping research and clinical practice in TCM spleen-stomach diseases， providing feasible pathways and a technical framework for building a high-quality， trustworthy TCM big-data ecosystem and achieving precision syndrome differentiation.

[Objective] To compare the clinical efficacy of super pulse thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (SPThuLEP) with "open tunnel" and transurethral holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), in order to provide reference for the treatment options of BPH. [Methods] The clinical data of 112 BPH patients treated in our hospital during Jan.2023 and Jul.2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 65 treated with SPThuLEP with "open tunnel" and 57 with HoLEP.The operation time, postoperative hemoglobin decrease, postoperative bladder irrigation, catheter indwelling time, hospitalization time and complications were compared between the two groups.The changes of maximum urine flow rate (Qmax), international prostate symptom score (IPSS), quality of life score (QoL), postvoid residual (PVR) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) were compared between the two groups before operation and one month after operation. [Results] All operations were successful without conversion to open or transurethral plasmakinetic resection.The postoperative decrease of hemoglobin in SPThuLEP group was lower than that in HoLEP group [(13.12±6.72) g/L vs. (21.02±6.51) g/L], with statistical difference (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the operation time [(63.35±15.73) min vs.(61.02±17.55) min], postoperative bladder irrigation time [(1.07±0.45) d vs. (1.06±0.36) d], catheter indwelling time [(2.98±0.56) d vs. (3.01±0.63) d] and hospitalization time [(3.63±0.61) d vs.(3.79±0.76) d] between the two groups (P>0.05). No blood transfusion, secondary bleeding or unplanned hospitalization occurred, and there were no serious complications such as transurethral electroresection syndrome (TURS), urethral stricture and urinary incontinence.One month after operation, the Qmax, IPSS, QoL, PVR and PSA of the two groups were significantly improved compared with those before operation (P<0.05), but with no statistical difference between the two groups (P>0.05). [Conclusion] SPThuLEP with "open tunnel" has comparable efficacy as HoLEP in the treatment of BPH.With advantages of small amount of bleeding and high safety, this minimally invasive technique can be widely popularized in clinical practice.

Objective To explore the biological functions of pyroptosis-related genes in pneumonic plague using bioinformatics methods,and to evaluate their potential applicability as diagnostic markers.Methods The pneumonic plague-related dataset GSE220123 was retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database and screened for differentially expressed pyroptosis-related genes(DE-PRGs).The functions of DE-PRGs were studied via Gene Ontology(GO),Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analyses,and immune infiltration analysis.The hub genes were identified via protein-protein interaction(PPI)network analysis,and further screened for key genes with sustained high expression characteristics based on differential expression analysis.The relative expression levels of the key genes were verified using the reverse transcription real-time quantitative PCR(qPCR)method.Results A total of 17 DE-PRGs were screened,and PPI network analysis revealed 7 Hub genes.Among them,Casp4 continued to be up-regulated during the course of pneumonic plague.The results of reverse transcription qPCR were consistent with the those of bioinformatic analyses.Conclusion DE-PRGs play a crucial role in the immune response of pneumonic plague,especially Casp4,which has significant applications as a diagnostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target for pneumonic plague.

Objective To analyze effects of caragliflozin and empagliflozin on inflammatory markers,glucose and lipid metabolism and miR-144 expression in obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 148 obese T2DM patients admitted to our hospital from June 2021 to May 2024 were selected and divided into the caragliflozin group and the empagliflozin group by random number table method.The two groups were treated with canagliflozin and empagliflozin on the basis of conventional treatment for 6 months.The inflammatory indicators,glucose metabolism indicators,lipid metabolism indicators,microRNA-144(miR-144)expression,body mass index(BMI),clinical efficacy and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results After a total of 7 cases were excluded during the treatment period,there were 71 cases in the caragliflozin group and 70 cases in the empagliflozin group.After treatment,the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin-6,C-reactive protein,fasting blood glucose(FBG),2 h postprandial blood glucose(2 h-PPG),glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol,low density lipoprotein cholesterol,BMI and miR-144 expression were lower than those before treatment in two groups of patients(P＜0.05),and the levels of FBG,2 h-PPG,HbA1c,TG and miR-144 expression were lower in the caragliflozin group than those of the empagliflozin group(P＜0.05).After treatment,high density lipoprotein cholesterol was higher than that before treatment in the two groups(P＜0.05),and that in the canagliflozin group was higher than the empagliflozin group(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in the clinical efficacy and incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups after treatment(P＞0.05).Conclusion Both caragliflozin and empagliflozin have certain therapeutic efficacy and good safety for obese T2DM patients,and caragliflozin is more effective in improving glucose and lipid metabolism.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of bevacizumab in reducing dyspnea, avoiding tracheostomy, and assessing the overall safety and effectiveness of the treatment in patients with juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP).Methods:This study included 19 patients with JORRP treated with Bevacizumab at the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, BenQ Medical Center, from March 2022 to June 2024. The age of patients ranged from 1.0 to 27.0 years (10.47±8.45 years), with age at onset ranging from 0.5 to 15.0 years (3.66±3.70 years). The cohort included 11 males and 8 females. Bevacizumab was administered intravenously at a dose of 10 mg/kg every three weeks for three sessions. Efficacy was evaluated by comparing the standardized lesion volume pre-and post-treatment, with statistical analysis performed using R software (4.3.1).Results:Among the 19 patients, 11 presented with dyspnea before treatment. All patients experienced varying degrees of dyspnea relief within 72 hours following the initial treatment, and only one patient had mild dyspnea by the second treatment session three weeks later. The average reduction rates at 24 and 48 hours post-initia treatment were 25.75% and 47.16%, respectively. Following three treatment cycles, the average cumulative reduction rate was 67.47%, significantly higher than after the first treatment ( Z=3.38, P=0.002). Throughout the treatment period, no adverse events that of grade 2 or higher were noted. Conclusions:Bevacizumab can rapidly alleviate dyspnea symptoms and significantly reduce lesion volume in JORRP patients, exhibiting satisfactory overall safety and effectiveness. However additional large-scale prospective studies are warranted to validate its long-term safety and efficacy.

Objective To investigate the effect of circRNA-homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2(circHIPK2)on angiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ)-induced apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells through the regulation of the miR-7-5p/transcription factor 4(TCF4)axis.Methods Human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs)were randomly divided into the control,model,negative control cotrans-fection,circHIPK2 knockdown,miR-7-5p overexpression,and circHIPK2 knockdown+miR-7-5p knockdown groups.Except for the control group,all other groups were administered 10 nmol/L Ang Ⅱ to establish a hypertensive injury model.The circHIPK2,miR-7-5p,and TCF4 mRNA expression levels were detected after transfection.Apoptosis,proliferation,mitochondrial membrane potential,reactive oxygen species(ROS),antioxidant enzymes,pro-inflammatory factors,and TCF4 protein expression were assessed.Results Compared with the control group,the expressions of circHIPK2 and TCF4 mRNA,cell apoptosis rate,relative expression of ROS,levels of IL-6,IL-1β,and IL-18,and expressions of Bax and TCF4 protein increased,and cell viability,miR-7-5p mRNA expression,mitochondrial mem-brane potential,activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and catalase(CAT),and Bcl-2 protein expression decreased in the model group(P＜0.05).Both circHIPK2 knockdown and miR-7-5p overexpression reversed Ang Ⅱ-induced pathological changes in vascular endothelial cells.miR-7-5p knockdown reduced the effect of circHIPK2 knockdown on pathological cellular changes in the model group.Conclusion circHIPK2 knockdown can weaken TCF4 expression by upregulating miR-7-5p,thereby reducing Ang Ⅱ-induced inflam-mation and oxidative stress in vascular endothelial cells and ultimately inhibiting cell apoptosis.
