The anticancer drugs have evolved significantly, spanning molecular targeted therapeutics (MTTs), immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy, and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Complications associated with these drugs vary widely based on their mechanisms of action. MTTs that target angiogenesis can often lead to complications related to ischemia or endothelial damage across various organs, whereas non-anti-angiogenic MTTs present unique complications derived from their specific pharmacological actions. ICIs are predominantly associated with immunerelated adverse events, such as pneumonitis, colitis, hepatitis, thyroid disorders, hypophysitis, and sarcoid-like reactions. CAR-T therapy causes unique and severe complications including cytokine release syndrome and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome. ADCs tend to cause complications associated with cytotoxic payloads. A comprehensive understanding of these drug-specific toxicities, particularly using medical imaging, is essential for providing optimal patient care. Based on this knowledge, radiologists can play a pivotal role in multidisciplinary teams. Therefore, radiologists must stay up-to-date on the imaging characteristics of these complications and the mechanisms underlying novel anticancer drugs.

This study aims to explore the medication rules and mechanisms of treating chronic renal failure(CRF) by Jinling medical school based on data mining, network pharmacology, and experimental validation systematically and deeply. Firstly, the study selected the papers published by the inherited clinicians in Jinling medical school in Chinese journals using the subject headings named "traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) + chronic renal failure", "TCM + chronic renal inefficiency", or "TCM + consumptive disease" in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, and VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database and screened TCM formulas for treating CRF according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study analyzed the frequency of use of single TCM and the four properties, five tastes, channel tropism, and efficacy of TCM used with high frequency and performed association rule and clustering analysis, respectively. As a result, a total of 215 TCM formulas and 235 different single TCM were screened, respectively. The TCM used with high frequency included Astragali Radix, Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Poria, and Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma(top 5). The single TCM characterized by "cold properties, sweet flavor, and restoring spleen channel" and the TCM with the efficacy of tonifying deficiency had the highest frequency of use, respectively. Then, the TCM with the rules of "blood-activating and stasis-removing" and "diuretic and dampness-penetrating" appeared. In addition, the core combination of TCM [(Hexin Formula, HXF)] included "Astragali Radix, Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, Poria, Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix, and Angelicae Sinensis Radix". The network pharmacology analysis showed that HXF had 91 active compounds and 250 corresponding protein targets including prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2(PTGS2), PTGS1, sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 5(SCN5A), cholinergic receptor muscarinic 1(CHRM1), and heat shock protein 90 alpha family class A member 1(HSP90AA1)(top 5). Gene Ontology(GO) function analysis revealed that the core targets of HXF predominantly affected biological processes, cellular components, and molecular functions such as positive regulation of transcription by ribonucleic acid polymerase Ⅱ and DNA template transcription, formation of cytosol, nucleus, and plasma membrane, and identical protein binding and enzyme binding. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) analysis revealed that CRF-related genes were involved in a variety of signaling pathways and cellular metabolic pathways, primarily involving "phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)-protein kinase B(Akt) pathway" and "advanced glycation end products-receptor for advanced glycation end products". Molecular docking results showed that the active components in HXF such as isomucronulatol 7-O-glucoside, betulinic acid, sitosterol, and przewaquinone B might be crucial in the treatment of CRF. Finally, a modified rat model with renal failure induced by adenine was used, and the in vivo experimental confirmation was performed based on the above-mentioned predictions. The results verify that HXF can regulate mitochondrial autophagy in the kidneys and the PI3K-Akt-mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR) signaling pathway activation at upstream, so as to alleviate renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis and then delay the progression of CRF.

One of the most frequent complaints of individuals with hearing impairment is listening comfort in noisy environments. In order to improve listening comforts in background noise, digital noise reduction (DNR) systems are incorporated into hearing aids (HAs). Each hearing aid manufacturer has its proprietary algorithm for the DNR system. The amount of attenuation (dB) provided by the DNR system can be quantified using the hearing aid analyser. However, the standard test signals in the hearing aid analyser could not quantify the attenuation of DNR for speech mixed with noise signals. Therefore, this study aimed to (i) develop speech-plus-noise test signals that incorporate Malay sentences and (ii) quantify the efficacy of DNR systems in commercial hearing aids using the newly developed test signals. Six different brands of hearing aids with identical technology but from different manufacturers were subjected to electroacoustic testing utilising newly created Malay speech-in-noise test signals with and without DNR enabled. The total root-meansquare (RMS) gain reduction for each HA was calculated. The results show that the types of noise, the signal-to-noise ratio and the gender of the speaker have a significant effect (p<0.05) on the amount of gain reduction in the HA output as a result of the DNR system in each HA . In conclusion, the newly developed Malay speech-in-noise test signals can be used to verify the efficacy of DNR system in commercial hearing aids.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and prognosis factors of acute myeloid leukemia with a combination therapy of venetoclax.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of AML patients treated with a combination therapy of venetoclax from March 2020 to April 2023 in the First Hospital of Lanzhou University.The efficacy,adverse reactions and survival were observed,and the influencing factors were analyzed.Results:A total of 74 AML patients were included in this study,including 43 initially treated AML and 31 relapsed or refractory AML(R/R AML).The median age of 43 initially treated AML patients was 65 years old,the composite complete remission(cCR)rate was 67.4％(29/43),the objective response rate(ORR)was 72.1％(31/43),and the median overall survival(OS)was 17.3 months.The median age of 31 R/R AML patients was 51 years old,with a cCR rate of 38.7％(12/31),an ORR of 58.1％(18/31),and a median OS of 7.1 months.Sex,the blood cell count before VEN,gene mutation and prognosis stratification were related to whether to obtain cCR.Failure to obtain cCR was an independent risk factor for adverse outcomes.Conclusion:A combination therapy of venetoclax is safe and efficacious for AML.Its efficacy and survival are affected by molecular biology,cytogenetics and other factors.

Objective:To explore the correlation between gene mutations and clinical characteristics,prognosis of myelodysplastic syndromes(MDS).Methods:Clinical data of 131 patients with MDS were collected from the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from June 2015 to February 2023,which 19 of them developed into secondary acute myeloid leukemia(sAML)during follow-up time.Second generation sequencing technology was used to detect the mutation types of MDS disease-related genes,drawn gene maps,and analyzed their correlation and prognosis based on the clinical data of patients.Results:The median age of 131 MDS patients was 58(17-86)years old.The ratio of male to female was 1.3:1.A total of 148 gene mutations and 25 types were found in the center.U2AF1 and ASXL1 were often co-mutations with other genes,which were accompanied by 20q-and normal karyotype(NK)respectively.SETBP1 and SRSF2 were more common in patients over 60 years old,while NPM1 and WT1 under 60 years.Older patients had a higher the number of genetic mutations than younger patients.The incidence of SF3B1 and RUNX1 in males was higher than females and DNMT3A in females was higher than males.The number of gene mutations in sAML was higher than MDS(1.8 vs 1.0,P=0.006).The univariate and multivariate analysis showed that IPSS-R prognostic score≥ 3.5,TP53 were adverse factors for poor prognosis in MDS patients.Patients with monoallelic mutation(ma-TP53)and wild-type(wt-TP53)TP53 had OS better than biallelic mutation(bi-TP53)(P=0.003).The OS of MDS patients was better than sAML(P=0.01)and transplant patients was significantly better than non-transplant patients(P=0.036).Conclusion:Gene mutation is closely related to cytogenetic indexes and clinical features(peripheral blood cell count,sex,age).IPSS-R prognostic score and TP53 were risk factors affecting OS in MDS patients.
