Objective To investigate the probability and dosimetric risk factors of lung injury after sequential immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and thoracic radiotherapy. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 139 patients who received sequential ICIs and thoracic radiotherapy in Xuzhou Cancer Hospital and Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University between February 2020 and February 2024. The relationships of clinical factors and lung and heart volume dose parameters with grade ≥ 2 acute lung injury (ALI) in patients with thoracic tumors were studied using univariable (χ² test, t test, nonparametric test) and multivariable (binary logistic regression analysis) methods. The thresholds of dosimetric risk factors were determined using the receiver operating characteristic curves. Clinical factors included age, gender, smoking history, type of ICIs, cycle of ICI application, and the interval between ICI application and thoracic radiotherapy. Dose parameters included total radiotherapy dose, single dose, planning target volume, maximum dose of planning target volume, average dose of planning target volume, total lung volume, heart volume, and the V₅, V₁₀, V₁₅, V₂₀, V₂₅, V₃₀, V₃₅, and V₄₀ of lung and heart. Results The incidence of grade ≥ 2 ALI in the included cases was 36% (50/139). The χ² test did not find any statistically significant clinical factors. In the univariable and binary Logistic regression analysis, lung V₁₅ and V₂₀, heart V₁₅ and V₂₀, and lung volume were independent risk factors for the occurrence of grade ≥ 2 ALI in sequential ICIs and thoracic radiotherapy. The thresholds were 18.51% for lung V₁₅, 14.43% for lung V₂₀, 32.41% for heart V₁₅, and 17.74% for heart V₂₀. Conclusion For patients who are going to receive thoracic radiotherapy after ICIs, the thresholds of lung V₁₅ and V₂₀ and heart V₁₅ and V₂₀ in the radiotherapy plan are recommended to be less than 18.51%, 14.43%, 32.41%, and 17.74%, respectively, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of grade ≥ 2 ALI.

BackgroundAtypical antipsychotics have been widely used in patients with chronic schizophrenia， and aripiprazole and risperidone are the most commonly used drugs. The mechanism of action of the two is different， while previous studies have provided insufficient credible evidence from multiple perspectives to support the comparative efficacy of the two drugs in improving symptoms in patients with chronic schizophrenia. ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy of aripiprazole and risperidone on the improvement of symptoms， prepulse inhibition （PPI）， cognitive functioning and neurotrophic factors in patients with chronic schizophrenia， so as to provide effective treatment regimens for these patients. MethodsA total of 86 patients with chronic schizophrenia attending the psychiatry department of the Third People's Hospital of Fuyang from March 2021 to March 2023 and fulfilling the diagnostic criteria of International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10） were enrolled and grouped using random number table method， each with 43 cases. Aripiprazole group was given oral aripiprazole once daily at an initial dose of 5 mg for one week and then gradually increased to a maximum dose of 25 mg. Risperidone group received oral risperidone twice daily at an initial dose of 0.5 mg for one week and then gradually increased to a maximum dose of 3 mg. Treatment in both groups lasted 3 months. Before treatment and 3 months after treatment， Patients were required to complete Positive and Negative Symptom Scale （PANSS）， detection of both strong and weak PPIs in a startle modification passive attention paradigm， Wisconsin Card Sorting Test （WCST） and the measurement of neurotrophic factors at baseline and after treatment. The adverse reactions were recorded. Analysis of covariance was used to test the difference between the PANSS score， PPI， WCST and neurotrophic factor levels of the groups， with the pretest used as the covariate. Results3 months after treatment， no statistical difference was found in the scores of PANSS general psychopathology subscale， positive symptom subscale， negative symptom subscale and total score between two groups after treatment （F=0.621， 0.815， 0.743， 0.752， P>0.05）. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in PPI inhibition rate， single intense stimulus amplitude， single intense stimulus latency， prepulse inhibition amplitude， or prepulse inhibition latency （F=0.174， 0.001， 0.183， 0.171， 0.001， P>0.05）. There was no statistically significant difference in the total number of WCST tests between two groups （F=0.512， P>0.05）， whereas aripiprazole group reported significantly larger total numbers of categories completed and correct responses as well as smaller total numbers of random errors and perseverative errors compared to risperidone group （F=3.737， 4.621， 4.892， 5.130， P<0.05）. A significant increase in brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF） and nerve growth factor （NGF） along with a reduction in glial fibrillary acidic protein （GFAP） were documented in risperidone group when compared to risperidone group （F=4.414， 3.781， 6.319， P<0.05）. No significant difference was demonstrated in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups （χ²=0.261， P>0.05）. ConclusionAripiprazole may be more beneficial than risperidone in improving cognitive functioning and neurotrophic factor levels in patients with chronic schizophrenia. ［Funded by Scientific Research Project of Fuyang Municipal Health Commission in 2021 （number， FY2021-147）］

Objective: To analyze the research hotspots and advancements in weight management for obese children both domestically and internationally, providing a theoretical foundation for future studies of related fields. Methods: Relevant literature for weight management of obese children were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang, Weipu, Web of Science (WOS) databases for the period from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2024. Excel, CiteSpace, and VOSviewer were used to analyze annual publication volume, authors, institutions, keywords, and other bibliometric characteristics. Results: A total of 158 Chinese literature and 484 English literature were included. Domestic publications remained stable, while international publications fluctuated but stabilized during 2018-2022. The publication volume and institutional collaboration map indicated that foreign scholars collaborations were concentrated, whereas domestic collaborations were scattered. The foreign scholar with the highest number of publications was Ball (29 articles). And the country with the most publications was the United States (256 articles). Journal dual map overlay indicated future would focus on medicine, internal medicine and clinical medicine. Both domestic and foreign studies focused on participants, weight management methods and monitoring indicators, with foreign studies further exploring research methods. Conclusions In the past decades, weight management methods and specific measures have been a primary focus in this field, with distinct priorities observed between domestic and international scholars. In the future, international exchanges and cooperation should be strengthened, and weight management plans for obese children with Chinese characteristics should be developed according to actual conditions.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the methodological quality of the postoperative chemotherapy guidelines/ consensuses for ovarian epithelial tumor. METHODS A search was conducted across databases including PubMed， Embase， Web of Science， CBM， VIP， Chinese Medical Journal Data， Wanfang Data， and CNKI， as well as the official websites of GIN， NICE， Medlive， AHRQ， CSCO， ASCO， and NCCN. The search period was from the establishment of the databases/websites to March 10， 2025. The quality of the included guidelines/consensus was evaluated by using the AGREE-Ⅱ tool. RESULTS A total of 16 guidelines/consensuses were included. The domain scores of AGREE-Ⅱ evaluation were as follows： scope and purpose of 85.07%， participants of 47.92%， rigor of development of 57.49%， clarity of presentation of 88.02%， applicability of 8.20%， and independence of 53.39%. Among them， 14 were recommended at grade B and 2 were recommended at grade C. The subgroup analysis by different countries/regions and different types of studies showed that the scores for participants， rigor of development， and independence of the guidelines/consensuses in China were significantly lower than foreign countries （P＜0.05）； the scores for participants and rigor of development of the guidelines were significantly higher than consensuses （P＜0.05）. The guideline/ consensus recommendation results indicated that grade B guidelines/consensus recommend platinum-based combination chemotherapy as the preferred adjuvant chemotherapy regimen for stage Ⅰ high-grade serous carcinoma patients；platinum-based combination chemotherapy±bevacizumab was recommended as the preferred adjuvant chemotherapy regimen for stage Ⅱ-Ⅳ high- grade serous carcinoma patients and for platinum-sensitive recurrent high-grade serous carcinoma patients； non-platinum single- agent chemotherapy±bevacizumab was recommended as the preferred chemotherapy regimen for platinum-resistant recurrent high- grade serous carcinoma patients. CONCLUSIONS The overall quality of postoperative chemotherapy guidelines/consensuses for ovarian epithelial tumor is not high. The methodological quality of guidelines/consensuses in China is still lagging behind that of foreign countries. The recommendations differ from those in foreign countries. It is recommended to improve the aspects of participants， rigor of development， and independence， to recommend treatment plans based on the different stages of ovarian cancer， and develop guidelines/consensuses that align with China’s national conditions.

Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), an evolutionarily conserved molecular chaperone, serves as a central regulator within tumor immune networks. This review summarizes the multiple immune regulatory mechanisms mediated by HSP70 through its specific domains: promoting antigen presentation and cross-presentation processes; prolonging immune response duration; regulating innate and adaptive immune responses; and interacting with immune checkpoint molecules like programmed death-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1). In translation of clinical research, HSP70 can serve as a vaccine adjuvant to enhance immunogenicity, while its inhibitors can overcome resistance to immunotherapy. Additionally, membrane-bound HSP70 represents a potential immunotherapeutic target, and its targeting strategies show significant synergistic effects when combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, due to the functional redundancy of the molecular chaperone network, the clinical efficacy of single-agent HSP70 inhibition is limited. In-depth elucidation of HSP70's synergistic regulatory mechanisms within the chaperone interaction network has important implications for developing novel tumor immunotherapy strategies.
