Objective:To analyze the current research status, hotspots, and trends in the field of cancer symptom management in recent 10 years, and to provide a reference for further research.Methods:Articles published from January 2010 to December 2019 were retrieved with "cancer OR tumor OR neoplasm" and "symptom management" as the subject terms from the core collection of Web of Science database. CiteSpace 5.7.R1 was used for analysis and visualization of researchers, countries, institutions, journals, documents, keywords and other content.Results:The number of papers published in the field of cancer symptom management was basically on the rise, but the number of co-authored papers by multiple authors and institutions was insufficient. The United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia were the main countries in the field of cancer symptom management. They occupied a key position in this field and cooperated closely with each other. China's number of publications ranked the fifth, but it did not take a central place, and it had less international cooperation. Journal of Clinical Oncology, Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, and Supportive Care in Cancer were the core journals in this field. The related articles published on them reflected the foundation of this field, and provided important reference for this field. Cancer, symptoms, intervention measures, self-care, remote management, etc. have been research hotspots in recent years. Conclusions:This study provides a perspective for understanding the related research in cancer symptom management, and supplies valuable information for researchers to identify potential collaborators and cooperative institutions, core journals, hot topics, and research frontiers. In the future, researchers may focus on such hotspots and frontiers as symptoms, interventions, self-care, and remote management.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the effect of umbilical therapy in adult ulcerative colitis.Methods:The clinical randomized controlled trials (RCT) related to the effect of umbilical therapy in ulcerative colitis in the Chinese and English databases were systematically searched, and their citations were traced. The search time limit was from the establishment of each database to December 30, 2020. Two researchers screened and evaluated the articles according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and extracted article information and data. RevMan5.3 was used for meta-analysis.Results:A total of 13 Chinese articles were included, with 898 patients. The results of meta-analysis showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the general symptom relief rate [ RR=0.70, 95% CI (0.12, 4.19), P=0.70]and effective rate [ RR=0.93, 95% CI (0.54, 1.59), P=0.86]between conventional therapy and umbilical therapy alone. Umbilical therapy combined with conventional therapy can improve the effective rate of treatment [ RR=1.26, 95% CI (1.18, 1.35), P<0.000 01], general symptom relief rate [ RR=1.94, 95% CI (1.44, 2.61), P<0.000 1], abdominal pain relief rate [ RR=1.90, 95% CI (1.42, 2.54), P<0.000 1], diarrhea relief rate [ RR=1.32, 95% CI (1.07, 1.64), P=0.01], remission rate of pus and blood stool [ RR=1.22, 95% CI (1.03, 1.44), P=0.02]and reduced disease activity [ MD=-1.79, 95% CI (-3.37, -0.21), P=0.03]. In terms of adverse reactions, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant [ RR=0.33, 95% CI (0.08, 0.80), P=0.13]. Conclusions:The efficacy of umbilical therapy alone is equivalent to that of conventional therapy, but umbilical therapy combined with conventional therapy is more effective in improving the treatment effective rate, general symptom relief rate and clinical symptoms. Due to the limitation of the number and quality of the included studies, long-term follow-up, large sample and rigorous RCT studies are needed to prove it.

Objective This study was to evaluate the long-term clinical efficiency of allogeneic corneal intrastromal lenticule inlay for correction of moderate and high hyperopia.Methods A prospective self-controlled case series study was adopted.Twenty-nine hyperopic patients (53 eyes) were performed with allogeneic corneal intrastromal lenticule inlays.The range of preoperative spherical equivalent was +3.75 to + 10 D,with the mean value of (+6.84±2.95)D.All the cases were followed up for 1 year.Uncorrected and best corrected visual acuity and refraction were compared between before and after operation.Corneal topography and optical coherence topography were used to examine corneal topography.Ocular response analyzer was used to evaluate the shifts of corneal hysteresis.This study followed the Helsinki declaration,and the research process was approved by the Ethic Committee of Beijing Tongren Hospital,and informed consent was signed by each donor and receptor.Results Compared with the before surgery,the uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) were obviously improved and the spherical equivalent (SE) was obviously decresed in 3 months,6 months and 1 year after surgery,with significant differences between them (all at P<0.05),but no significant differences were found between each postoperative time points (all at P>0.05).One year after surgery,14 eyes (26.4%) gained one line of best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA),and 12 eyes (22.6%) gained two lines of BCDVA.Only 2 patients (5.66%) lost lines due to opaque lenticules,and no eye lost lines after changing the opaque lenticules.There was no obvious hyperopic fallback phenomenon.Compared with the before surgery,the average corneal curvature value (Avek) was obviously improved,the surface regularity index (SRI),surface asymmetry index (SAI) and central corneal thickness (CCT) were obviously increased in 3 months,6 months and 1 year after surgery,with significant differences between them (all at P<0.05),but no significant differences were found between each postoperative time points (all at P > 0.05).The cornea optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination showed that,after the operation,the corneal stromal implant was in place and clear.One year after surgery,the dividing line of corneal graft was still clearly visible.No significant changes of corneal hysteresis (CH) and corneal resistance factor (CRF) were seen among different time points before and after surgeries (F =1.443,P =0.216;F =1.744,P =0.128).Conclusions Allogeneic corneal small incision intrastromal lenticule inlays can be used to correct moderate and high hyperopic eye with good safety,effectiveness and predictability.It provides a new choice for hyperopic patients.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of high-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangement in Chinese diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) .Methods:From January 2013 to August 2020, 922 DLBCL cases were collected. C-MYC and BCL2 protein expression levels were analyzed by immunohistochemistry staining. Fluorescence in situ hybridization was used to detect the structural abnormalities of MYC, BCL2, and BCL6, including gene breaks and copy number changes.Results:MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 gene breaks were found in 29 out of 922 DLBCL cases (3.15%) , including 25 cases of double-hit lymphoma (DHL; 14 cases involving MYC and BCL2 rearrangements and 11 cases involving MYC and BCL6 rearrangements) and four cases involving MYC, BCL2, and BCL6 rearrangements, referring to triple-hit lymphoma. According to the threshold of C-MYC ≥40% and BCL2 ≥50%, 541 cases (58.68%) overexpressed C-MYC and BCL2 proteins, including 22 DHL cases. Moreover, according to the threshold of C-MYC ≥70% and BCL2 ≥50%, 52 cases (5.64%) overexpressed C-MYC and BCL2 proteins, including nine DHL cases. The P53 protein expression was detected by immunohistochemistry staining. The mutant P53 expression pattern was shown in 101 out of 709 cases (14.25%) , whereas 13 cases (1.83%) were negative, likely indicating P53 gene fragment deletion.Conclusion:The incidence of high-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements was low in DLBCLs, and no significant correlation between gene abnormality and protein overexpression was shown. The correct diagnosis of DHL depends on molecular genetic detection.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a highly malignant liver tumor, and due to the absence of symptoms in its early stage and the lack of effective treatment measures, patients tend to have an extremely low 5-year survival rate. The tumor stroma-immune microenvironment (TSIME) is a complex ecosystem that changes dynamically during tumorigenesis and evolution and consists of a variety of cellular and non-cellular components, and it plays an important role in the development, proliferation, invasion, and progression of ICC and determines the heterogeneity and malignancy of ICC to a certain degree. This article reviews the cellular components (such as T cells, B cells, natural killer cells, dendritic cells, neutrophils, macrophages, myeloid-derived suppressor cells) and non-cellular components (such as chemokines and cytokines) within the ICC TSIME, as well as the complex mechanisms of interaction between these components, and it also reviews the spatial interactions between immune cells and tumor cells, in order to provide potential research directions for ICC immunotherapy and new ideas for the effective and precise treatment of ICC in the future.
