OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of different chemotherapy combination regimens for first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer （mCRC）. METHODS PubMed， Cochrane Library， Embase and Web of Science were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled clinical trial （RCT） on first-line treatment for mCRC from January 1， 2000 to February 16， 2025. Two reviewers independently screened literature， extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Network meta-analysis was performed by using R4.4.3 and Stata 17.0 software. RESULTS A total of 28 RCTs， involving 16 intervention measures， were included. In terms of prolonging progression-free survival （PFS） and overall survival （OS）， FOLFOX （5-fluorouracil+oxaliplatin+calcium folinate regimen）+cetuximab had the highest probability of ranking first. In terms of improving objective response rate （ORR）， FOLFOXIRI （5-fluorouracil+oxaliplatin+irinotecan+calcium folinate regimen）+ bevacizumab and FOLFOX+bevacizumab+nivolumab had the highest probability of ranking first； in terms of the incidence of grade 3 or higher adverse reactions， FOLFOXIRI+panitumumab had the highest probability of ranking first； in subgroup analysis of KRAS wild-type patients， FOLFIRI （5-fluorouracil+irinotecan+calcium folinate regimen）+panitumumab and FOLFIRI+bevacizumab had the highest probability of ranking first in terms of prolonging PFS and OS， respectively； in terms of ORR， FOLFOXIRI+ cetuximab had the highest probability of ranking first. CONCLUSIONS In first-line treatment for mCRC， FOLFOX combined with targeted therapy has advantages in terms of efficacy and safety. However， individualized treatment strategies should be formulated based on the KRAS gene status and tumor location of patients.

Olfactory receptors(ORs)are transmembrane proteins mainly distributed in olfactory sensory neurons of the nasal epithelium,mediating the transmission of real-time sensory signals to the brain to produce smell.Recent studies have reported that ORs can also be expressed in tissues or organs outside the nasal cavity,and are closely related to a variety of biological processes,such as sperm chemotaxis,wound healing,glycolipid metabolism and intestinal secretion.In addition,ORs are closely related to a variety of malignant tumors such as prostate cancer,breast cancer and colorectal cancer,and may affect the occurrence and development of tumors by regulating cell proliferation,apoptosis,migration and invasion.This review provides an overview of the effects of ectopic ORs on the function of various human tissues and organs and assesses their potential value as drug targets for the treatment of human diseases.

Objective To assess the efficacy of pirfenidone combined with PD-L1 inhibitor for treatment of bladder cancer in a mouse model and its effect on tumor immune microenvironment modulation.Methods Forty C57BL/6 mouse models bearing ectopic human bladder cancer xenografts were randomized into control group,PD-L1 inhibitor group,pirfenidone group and combined treatment group(n=10).After successful modeling,PD-L1 inhibitor treatment was administered via intraperitoneal injection at 12.5 mg/kg every 3 days,and oral pirfenidone(500 mg/kg)was given on a daily basis.The survival rate of the mice and tumor growth rate were compared among the 4 groups.The expressions of CD3,CD8,CD45,E-cadherin and N-cadherin in the tumor tissues were detected with immunohistochemistry after the 21-day treatment,and bone marrow-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs)were observed with immunofluorescence staining;serum levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),urea nitrogen(BUN),creatinine(CRE)and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH-L)were analyzed using an automated biochemical analyzer.Results Treatment with PD-L1 inhibitor and pirfenidone alone both significantly decreased tumor growth rate and tumor volume at 21 days(P<0.05),but the combined treatment produced an obviously stronger inhibitory effect(P<0.05).PD-L1 inhibitor and pirfenidone alone significantly increased E-cadherin expression and decreased N-cadherin expression in the tumor tissue(P<0.05).The two treatments both significantly increased the percentage of CD3+,CD8 and CD45+ T cells and decreased the percentage of Ly-6G+CD11b+MDSCs in the tumor tissue,and these changes were more obvious in the combined treatment group(P<0.05).No significant differences were found in serum ALT,AST,BUN,CRE or LDH-L levels among the 4 groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Combined treatment with pirfenidone and PD-L1 inhibitor significantly inhibits the progression of bladder cancer in mice possibly by regulating tumor immune microenvironment and inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition of the tumor cells.

Objective To explore the regulatory effect of miR-204-5p on biological behaviors of bladder cancer cells and its molecular mechanism.Methods Survival analysis and correlation analysis were performed using TCGA database to explore the association of miR-204-5p expression with survival outcomes and clinicopathological parameters of bladder cancer patients.The expression level of miR-204-5p was detected in bladder cancer and adjacent tissues and in normal uroepithelial cells and bladder cancer cells.In cultured bladder cancer cells,the effects of miR-204-5p overexpression and knockdown on cell proliferation,migration,invasion,and apoptosis were analyzed.Transcriptome sequencing,bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase assay were carried out to confirm targeted inhibition of RAB22A by miR-204-5p to promote malignant biological behaviors of bladder cancer cells.Results Patients with high miR-204-5p expressions had lowered median survival time and poor prognosis(P<0.05).The expression of miR-204-5p was significantly up-regulated in bladder cancer tissues and cells(P<0.05).In bladder cancer cells,miR-204-5p overexpression significantly promoted cell proliferation,migration and invasion and reduced cell apoptosis.Transcriptome sequencing,bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase assay all suggested that RAB22A was a key downstream factor of miR-204-5p.Overexpression of miR-204-5p significantly inhibited RAB22A expression in bladder cancer cells,and overexpression of RAB22A partially reversed miR-204-5p overexpression-induced enhancement of bladder cancer cell proliferation.Conclusion High expression of miR-204-5p promotes proliferation,migration and invasion and reduces apoptosis of bladder cancer cells by negatively regulating RAB22A expression.

Objective To investigate the influence of individualized low-dose CT imaging parameters on quantitative computed tomography(QCT)liver fat content measurement and image quality by using the combined technique of Auto-prescription and adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction(ASIR-V)algorithm with different weights.Methods A total of 231 patients who underwent both chest and abdominal CT scans were prospectively selected.The overlapping liver of two-position scans in the same case was studied,in which the chest was scanned with an individualized low-dose protocol(group A)and the upper abdomen was scanned with a routine 120 kVp protocol(group B).Patients with group A were scanned by using 80 kVp and 100 kVp based on Auto-prescription technique,and divided into the subgroups of A1 and A2;meanwhile the same patients with group B were scanned by using 120 kVp and divided into the subgroups of B1 and B2.The images were transferred to AW4.6 and QCTpro workstations for measuring CT values,standard deviation(SD)values and Fat％QCT values of the left lobe,right anterior lobe,and right posterior lobe of the liver in the overlapping regions.The signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)were also calculated using the same-level erector spinae as background.Paired sample t-test was employed to compare the differences in Fat％QCT measurements between groups A and B.Spearman correlation analysis was conducted,and linear regression equations were established.Two observers evaluated image quality using a five-point scale and Kappa test was conducted to test inter-observer consistency.Results In group A,the Fat％QCT values showed no statistically significant difference among different weights of ASIR-V.However,the statistically significant difference was found between groups A and B(P＜0.05),and there were highly positive correlations between subgroups A1 and B1 and between subgroups A2 and B2(r=0.939 7,0.987 2,P＜0.05).The linear regression equation under 80 kVp and 100 kVp were as follows:y=0.976x+3.119,y=1.007x+2.041.The SNR and CNR of group A combined with post-60％ASIR-V were higher than those of group B combined with post-40％ASIR-V under conventional tube voltage.The subjective scores between groups A and B had no statistically significant difference.Conclusion Low-dose chest imaging based on Auto-prescription technique combined with post-60％ASIR-V can not only satisfy clinical diagnostic requirement,but also realize quantitative analysis of Fat％QCT under low tube voltage(80 kVp/100 kVp).

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To observe the characteristics and differences of gut microbiota in asthma patients with different inflammatory types through metagenomic analysis.Methods:Adults aged ≥18 years who visited the Respiratory Clinic of Peking University Third Hospital from August 1, 2021 to August 31, 2022 and were primarily diagnosed with asthma were selected as the study subjects. Finally, 29 patients with stable asthma were included. Fresh fecal samples were collected and the fecal DNA was extracted for high-throughput 16sRNA sequencing of gut microbiota. The diversity and community structure of gut microbiota in different groups of asthma patients were compared, and the species differences were analyzed through random forest and LEfSe analysis.Results:There were sex-based differences in asthma patients with different types of inflammation, and the proportion of female patients was higher in neutrophilic asthma patients ( χ2=4.14, P=0.042). There was no significant intergroup difference in the alpha diversity of gut microbiota among asthma patients with different inflammatory types, but there were significant differences in the microbiome. Patients with neutrophilic asthma had higher relative abundance of Bacillales ( P=0.029) and Oscillospiraceae ( P=0.015). In species LEfSe analysis, patients with eosinophilic asthma had a higher relative abundance of fungi. Conclusion:There are intergroup differences in the gut microbiota of asthma patients with different inflammation types, and fungi are biomarkers that distinguish the differences in gut microbiota between patients with eosinophilic asthma and neutrophilic asthma.

Objective To investigate the application value of energy spectral CT low energy(keV)targeted reconstruction tech-niques combined with adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-Veo(ASIR-V)algorithm in lower extremity computed tomography venography(CTV).Methods Forty patients with lower extremity CTV examination were retrospectively selected.Gemstone spec-tral imaging(GSI)mode was used with a transient tube voltage of 80 kVp/140 kVp and tube current in GSI Assist mode.Group A(conventional group):70 keV combined with 40％ASIR-V mono-energy images,conventional display field of view(DFOV)inclu-ding both lower extremity.Group B(low keV group):50 keV combined with 50％ASIR-V mono-energy images,DFOV as in group A.Group C(low keV targeted reconstruction group):50 keV combined with 50％to 80％ASIR-V mono-energy images(10％interval,called as groups C1-C4),targeted reconstruction(small DFOV,covered one lower extremity with left and right femurs as the center).The CT and standard deviation(SD)values of the bilateral lower extremity veins were measured on each axial image and the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)were calculated.Two observers scored the venous images and the sharpness of embolus display subjectively using a 5-point scale and Kappa test was used to examine the consistency.Results In terms of vein dis-play,the score of groups B and C was better than that of group A(P＜0.05).In terms of embolus display sharpness,the scores of large and small embolus in group C increased with the increase of ASIR-V percentage initially and then gradually decreased(P＜0.05).The scores in group C2 were the highest which were superior to the scores of group B and group A(P＜0.05).The CT values of each venous segment in groups B and C were higher than those in group A(P＜0.05).In groups C1 to C4,with the increasing weight of ASIR-V,the SNR and CNR increased gradually(P＜0.05),but slightly lower than those in group B(P＜0.05).Conclusion 50 keV targeted reconstruction techniques combined with 60％ASIR-V algorithm significantly improves the contrast of lower extremity veins and the embolus display sharpness,providing more accurate clinical imaging information.
