ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Scutellariae Radix combined with epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors （EGFR-TKIs） on cell proliferation， apoptosis， cancer stem cell （CSC） marker expression， and metabolism in non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC） cells. MethodsThe anti-tumor effects of Scutellariae Radix and EGFR-TKIs （gefitinib or osimertinib） in NSCLC cells were evaluated using the cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） and Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide （PI） double staining apoptosis assay. The activity of Scutellariae Radix and EGFR-TKIs in three-dimensional （3D） cultures of NSCLC cells was assessed using the CellTiter-Glo® 3D cell viability assay. The mRNA and protein expression levels of CSC markers， sex determining region y box protein 2 （SOX2） and aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 （ALDH1A1）， were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot， respectively. Changes in intracellular reactive oxygen species （ROS） levels were detected by ROS staining， and the redox ratio was detected by femtosecond laser labeling free imaging （FLI）. ResultsUnder both two-dimensional （2D） and 3D culture conditions， compared with the blank group and EGFR-TKI group， the combination group showed significantly reduced cell viability and increased apoptosis rate （P<0.05）. Compared with the EGFR-TKI group， the mRNA and protein levels of CSC markers were significantly downregulated in the combination group （P<0.05）. Additionally， the redox ratio was significantly elevated （P<0.05）， and ROS levels were also increased in the combination group compared with the EGFR-TKI group. ConclusionIn NSCLC cells， Scutellariae Radix enhances the redox ratio and increases ROS levels， thereby inhibiting the expression of CSC markers and strengthening the anti-tumor effects of EGFR-TKIs. This provides a novel molecular mechanism by which Scutellariae Radix may enhance the sensitivity of targeted therapies.

Objective To investigate the occurrence of liver function abnormalities in patients with follicular lymphoma(FL)treated with the G-CDOP regimen in the real world.Methods Using the hospital information system,a retrospective collection of clinical data was conducted on inpatients diagnosed with FL and treated with at least four courses of the G-CDOP regimen in the Department of Hematology,the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from September 2021 to August 2023.The analysis focused on the incidence,severity,and types of liver function abnormalities,as well as the timing of these occurrences in relation to medication use and other relevant clinical characteristics.Results The study encompassed a total of 55 patients with FL,out of which 30 patients encountered liver function abnormalities during the G-CDOP regimen treatment,yielding an incidence rate of 54.5%.There were 23 cases(41.8%)of grade 1,3 cases(5.5%)of grade 2,and 4 cases(7.3%)of grade 3 liver function abnormalities.Among them,12 cases(21.8%)were hepatocellular injury type,while the cholestasis type was observed in 4 cases(7.3%),and the mixed type was found in 14 cases(25.5%).Liver function abnormalities appeared in 21 patients(38.2%)during the first cycle of the G-CDOP regimen treatment,5 patients(9.1%)in the second cycle,and 1 patient(1.8%),2 patients(3.6%),and 1 patient(1.8%)in the third,fourth,and fifth cycles.Conclusion The G-CDOP regimen has the potential to impact liver function indicators in FL patients,but most are mild and reversible.However,there are also cases of severe liver injury that need to attract clinical attention.

Objective:To investigate the quality of life of lymphoma patients receiving different treatment methods under unaccompanied nursing care mode.Methods:A cross sectional study was conducted. A total of 374 lymphoma patients who received chemotherapy, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy, or other targeted immunotherapy under unaccompanied nursing care mode in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2023 to December 2023 were selected. The basic information of patients was collected through a questionnaire, and the Cancer Rehabilitation Evaluation System-Short Form (CARES-SF) was used to score the quality of life of patients from physiological, psychosocial, the relationship with healthcare professionals, marital relations, sexual function, and the overall health aspects. The higher score indicated the worse quality of life. The differences in quality of life among patients stratified by the different treatment methods and high-intensity treatment (CAR-T cell therapy or transplantation) and low-intensity treatment (other treatment methods) under unaccompanied care mode were compared.Results:Among the 374 patients, 62 received autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, 13 received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and 36 received CAR-T cell therapy. There were no statistically significant differences in the dimensions of CARES-SF and the overall health aspects scores between the transplantation treatment group and the non-transplantation treatment group (all P > 0.05). For non-transplant patients, there were no statistically significant differences in the dimensions of CARES-SF and overall health aspects scores between the CAR-T cell treatment group and the non-CAR-T cell treatment group (all P > 0.05); for transplant patients, the physiological dimension score [ M ( IQR)] of CARES-SF in the allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation group was higher than that in the autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation group [16 points (9 points) vs. 8 points (9 points)], and the difference was statistically significant ( Z = -2.30, P = 0.021), but there were no statistically significant differences in the scores of other dimensions and overall health aspects (all P > 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the dimensions of CARES-SF and overall health aspects scores in the high-intensity treatment group and the low-intensity treatment group (all P > 0.05). Conclusions:There is no significant difference in the quality of life of lymphoma patients receiving different treatment methods under the unaccompanied care mode, while lymphoma patients receiving high-intensity treatment and low-intensity treatment have similar life quality. Lymphoma patients receiving high-intensity treatment may benefit more from the unaccompanied care mode.

Purpose: The long-term fertility impact of cancer treatments is a significant concern for young breast cancer survivors. These reproductive concerns often become a persistent source of stress, negatively affecting their quality of life. This study aims to explore the reproductive concerns experienced by young breast cancer survivors post-treatment and the factors influencing their perceptions. Methods: This phenomenological study utilized semi-structured interviews to collect data. Eighteen participants were recruited from a tertiary hospital in Mainland China. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using Colaizzi's method. Results: Data analysis revealed five themes and fourteen subthemes: (1) multiple emotional burdens interwoven with concerns about fertility; (2) concerns about risks associated with reproduction; (3) dilemma of childrearing; (4) the significance of reproduction; (5) support needs from family, peers, and professionals. Conclusion Young breast cancer survivors in China face significant challenges related to reproductive issues. Reproductive health is a crucial aspect of breast cancer survivorship care. Healthcare providers must be attentive to the reproductive concerns of survivors, recognize the importance of multidimensional support for positive adaptation, and offer tailored and ongoing interventions to manage reproductive health in young breast cancer survivors.

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.
