With the increasing global prevalence of tree pollen allergies, there has been a significant impact on the quality of life for populations. In North and Central China, birch pollen, cypress pollen, and plane tree pollen are the most common allergens for springtime pollen allergy sufferers. The distribution of plants and patterns of pollen transmission in different geographical areas result in varying pollen exposure outcomes, further complicating the challenges in diagnosis and individualized treatment. This article delves into the research progress and clinical application of tree pollen allergies based on the "Molecular Allergology User′s Guide 2.0 (MAUG 2.0) " published by the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI). It discusses major allergen families and component proteins of tree pollen such as PR-10 proteins, profilins, polcalcins, as well as cross-reactive components that may cause pollen-food allergy syndrome. Allergen component diagnostics can distinguish true allergy sufferers from those with multiple allergen reactions, enabling more targeted selection of allergens for specific immunotherapy, thus enhancing treatment effectiveness. Bet v 1 and Cup a 1, for instance, are specific indicators for immunotherapy in birch and cypress allergy patients. Overall, this article provides cutting-edge information for professionals in the field of tree pollen allergies, offering in-depth exploration of tree pollen allergen component proteins, clinical manifestations, and treatment-related research, aiding in better understanding and addressing the challenges of tree pollen allergies.

Grasses are extensively cultivated worldwide, with the three most common allergenic grass pollen subfamilies being Pooideae in temperate regions, Chloridoideae and Panicoideae in subtropical areas. This article delves into the research progress and clinical applications of grass pollen allergy as delineated in the "Molecular Allergology User′s Guide 2.0" issued by the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI). It compiles epidemiological data on grass pollen, allergenic components, clinical manifestations, and treatment guidelines from both domestic and international sources, providing cutting-edge insights and scientific perspectives for professionals in the field of pollen allergy. The aim is to enhance the understanding of allergenic components, distinguishing between grass pollen allergy and pan-allergen responses with precision through advanced component-resolved diagnostic techniques. This serves to foster novel approaches to characterizing the unique sensitization patterns of grass pollen allergens in China, thereby offering more personalized and targeted diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for clinical practice in the region.

Cockroaches are one of the most common indoor allergens worldwide, and exposure to cockroach allergens (such as the insect body, debris, and secretions) can trigger severe allergic rhinitis and(or) asthma. Currently, the World Health Organization (WHO)/International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) has identified 32 allergenic components in cockroaches, but none of these allergens have shown a clear immunodominance. The sensitization rate to cockroach allergens shows significant variability across different regions and populations and exhibits cross-reactivity with various invertebrates, increasing the complexity of clinical diagnosis and treatment. This article delves into the "Molecular Allergology User′s Guide 2.0"(MAUG 2.0) published by the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) and the research progress on cockroach allergies both domestically and internationally. It elucidates the crucial role of allergen component diagnostic technology in enhancing the diagnosis and treatment of cockroach-induced allergic diseases, efficiently assisting clinicians in identifying common sensitizations and cross-reactivities, thereby offering patients more accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans.

As the most common endocrine malignant tumor,the incidence rate of thyroid cancer is increasing year by year.However,the vast majority of subtypes have a good prognosis after traditional surgery,TSH suppression therapy and 131I treatment.With the progressive development of modern medicine,for a few thyroid cancers with poor effects of traditional treatment,molecular diagnosis and targeted therapy have further enriched the therapeutic means of thyroid cancer,in which BRAF mutation is widely present in thyroid cancer,but it often shows primary resistance or poor response to 131I therapy.The factors leading to primary or secondary resistance to targeted drugs with BRAF mutation may include genomic instability,expansion of resistant clones,occurrence of intrinsic mutations,or novel genetic and epigenetic alterations.In this article,we will review the research progress in targeted therapy resistance in BRAF-mutant thyroid cancer.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has continued to spread globally since late 2019, representing a formidable challenge to the world's healthcare systems, wreaking havoc, and spreading rapidly through human contact. With fever, fatigue, and a persistent dry cough being the hallmark symptoms, this disease threatened to destabilize the delicate balance of our global community. Rapid and accurate diagnosis of COVID-19 is a prerequisite for understanding the number of confirmed cases in the world or a region, and an important factor in epidemic assessment and the development of control measures. It also plays a crucial role in ensuring that patients receive the appropriate medical treatment, leading to optimal patient care. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technology is currently the most mature method for detecting viral nucleic acids, but it has many drawbacks. Meanwhile, a variety of COVID-19 detection methods, including molecular biological diagnostic, immunodiagnostic, imaging, and artificial intelligence methods have been developed and applied in clinical practice to meet diverse scenarios and needs. These methods can help clinicians diagnose and treat COVID-19 patients. This review describes the variety of such methods used in China, providing an important reference in the field of the clinical diagnosis of COVID-19.
