Resident doctor standardization training is the base of dermatologist training. We set up the specialist standardization training system according to our hospital's training practice. The dermatolo-gist standardization training mode was set up through tutor responsibility rule , internet learning platform and problem-based learning methods. The teaching level for dermatologists was upgraded by using above methods.

Results A total of 1309 Chinese and English studies were retrieved; 5 RCTs were included in this study, and 446 patients were enrolled.The combined total effect value in the fixed-effect model with RD (95%

ObjectiveTo analyze the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome elements in patients with immune-related adverse events (irAEs) associated with malignant tumor immunotherapy and to explore the influencing factors for the occurrence of irAEs. MethodsClinical data were retrospectively collected from malignant tumor patients treated with programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors, including demographic information, tumor history, duration of immunotherapy, occurrence of irAEs, types and grades of irAEs (G1-G5), and TCM four-diagnostic information. Patients were divided into irAEs group and the non-irAEs group based on the occurrence of irAEs. Propensity score matching (PSM) at a 1∶2 ratio was performed to balance baseline characteristics between groups. Syndrome elements before treatment and cumulative contributions of syndrome elements before and after irAEs onset were evaluated using the "Syndrome Elements Differentiation Scale". Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with the occurrence of irAEs. The use of glucocorticoids in the irAEs group was also analyzed. ResultsAfter 1∶2 matching, 59 patients were included in the irAEs group and 118 were in the non-irAEs group. No statistically significant differences were found between groups in terms of age, gender, primary tumor site, pathological type, or tumor stage (P>0.05). Patients in the non-irAEs group were more likely to have received targeted therapy, while the irAEs group had a longer duration of immunotherapy and a higher rate of positive programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression (P<0.05). In total, 72 irAEs events occurred among 59 patients, with an overall incidence rate of 19.4% (59/304) and a grade 3~5 incidence rate of 6.8% (4/59), mainly presenting as cardiotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and pneumotoxicity.Before immunotherapy, the top three syndrome elements in the irAEs group were spleen (71.2%, 42/59), kidney (42.4%, 25/59), and lung (39.0%, 23/59). For the pathogenic nature elements, yin deficiency (52.5%, 31/59), phlegm (40.7%, 24/59), and dampness (35.6%, 21/59) ranked highest. Compared to the non-irAEs group, the distribution of spleen, kidney, liver, yin deficiency, and qi deficiency elements showed significant differences in the irAEs group (P<0.05). After the occurrence of irAEs, the cumulative contributions of spleen, lung, stomach, heart, yin deficiency, qi deficiency, and yang hyperactivity elements increased significantly (P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that duration of immunotherapy, spleen syndrome element, kidney syndrome element, liver syndrome element, yin deficiency element, and qi deficiency element were independent risk factors for irAEs (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Among the irAEs patients, 15 received glucocorticoid combined with TCM treatment, while 6 received glucocorticoid therapy alone. Patients receiving combined treatment required lower doses and shorter courses of glucocorticoids compared to those treated with glucocorticoids alone (P<0.05). ConclusionIn malignant tumor patients, spleen, kidney, lung, yin deficiency, phlegm, dampness, and qi deficiency are the predominant syndrome elements before and after the occurrence of irAEs. However, elements such as heat and qi stagnation significantly increase after irAEs onset. Duration of immunotherapy, spleen, kidney, liver syndrome elements, yin deficiency, and qi deficiency are independent risk factors for the development of irAEs.

Cancer toxin is a specific pathogenesis leading to the heterogeneity of breast cancer.The nature and virulence of the cancer toxin determine the differences in the heterogeneity of breast cancer,which can dynamically evolve over time and space,resulting in varying invasion abilities and characteristics of the tumor.Cancer cells in the primary lesion possess"toxicity"that targets specific organs for metastasis,and cancer toxins can influence the metastatic propensity of different types of breast cancer.Therefore,breast cancer treatment strategies based on the theory of cancer toxins emphasize the continuous eradication of the cancer toxin,focusing on differentiating its strength and nature,protecting unaffected areas first,identifying the state based on symptoms,and targeting accordingly to combat resistance arising from tumor heterogeneity.This article aims to provide a new theoretical basis for the treatment strategies of different types of breast cancer.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the outcomes, survival status, and the prognostic factors of Epstein-Barr virus-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (EBV-HLH) patients.
METHODSA retrospective study was carried out to analyze the clinical data of 61 EBV-HLH cases, from January 2008 to July 2014. Prognostic factors were analyzed through COX model (single factor and multiple factors).
RESULTSA total of 246 patients with HLH were diagnosed, among which 102 cases were with EBV infection (including 61 EBV-HLH, 36 lymphoma associated HLH, 5 primary HLH. Among the 61 cases, 40 were male and 21 were female, with a ration of 1.9:1. The median age was 28 years (range, 12-78). 1, 3, 6 and 12-month overall survival rates of 61 EBV-HLH were 65.6%, 47.5%, 32.4%, and 25.0%, respectively. The median follow-up time was 3 (0.5-28) months. 12 patients didn't use etoposide within 4 weeks after diagnosis, while HLH-94 protocol was used in 33 patients and HLH-2004 protocol was used in 16 patients. Response rates of theses three groups were 33.3%, 51.5%, and 43.8%, respectively (P=0.401). There was statistically difference between the group without etoposide and the HLH-94/ HLH-2004 group in the overall survival rate (P=0.033). Serum albumin level (P=0.033) and whether EBV could became negative (P=0.010) were independent predictors for EBV-HLH.
CONCLUSIONEBV-HLH patients have severe clinical feature and poor prognosis. Early application of immune chemotherapy based on etoposide can improve survival. Serum albumin level and whether EBV can become negative are independent prognostic factors for survival.
