Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， through its multi-target and systematic regulatory effects， has demonstrated unique advantages in the treatment of gastric precancerous lesions （GPL）. At present， TCM theoretical research on GPL is mainly reflected in three aspects， the integration of macroscopic syndrome differentiation， the inflammation-carcinoma transformation mechanism， as well as the systematization and scientization of theoretical inheritance from famous TCM practitioners. High-quality evidence-based research findings serve as the foundation for clinical practice guidelines on GPL， and TCM has gained international academic recognition in the field of GPL prevention and treatment. Research on TCM mechanisms has yielded a series of important outcomes in the aspects of signaling pathways， gene expression regulation， cellular epigenetics， histone modification， and intestinal microecology. It is proposed that future research on GPL should focus on four key directions， establishing multi-omics data， exploring targeted intervention strategies on key regulatory nodes， advancing the standardization process of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine prevention and treatment technologies， and constructing stratified screening and intervention platforms. The in-depth integration of TCM microcosmic mechanism of action with its macroscopic syndrome differentiation and treatment system， coupled with interdisciplinary research， will provide valuable references for the clinical treatment and scientific research of GPL.

ObjectiveThis paper aims to explore the risk factors for chronic atrophic gastritis （CAG） with turbidity toxin accumulation syndrome and establish a prediction model. MethodsClinical data of 180 patients with CAG who participated in the "clinical study of Xianglian Huazhuo Particles blocking CAG cancer transformation" of Hebei Sheng Zhong Yi Yuan from July 2021 to March 2022 were collected. After confounding factors were controlled by propensity score matching， patients were divided into a training set （namely dev） and a validation set （namely vad） in a seven to three ratio. The risk factors for CAG with turbidity toxin accumulation syndrome in the training set were investigated by using univariate Logistic regression analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator （namely Lasso） regression algorithms. Subsequently， a model， named model 1se， was developed by using the training set data to predict the risk factors for CAG with turbidity toxin accumulation syndrome. The accuracy of the prediction model was assessed by using various methods， including the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve， Hosmer-Lemeshow test （H-L）， calibration plot， and decision curve analysis （DCA）. ResultsAge， body mass index （BMI）， family history of cancer， job and life satisfaction， yellow and greasy fur with slippery pulse， and heavy body sensation were independent risk factors of the model. The prediction model showed excellent predictive value for both the training and validation sets. ConclusionThe established prediction model for CAG with turbidity toxin accumulation syndrome has high discrimination and excellent calibration， which could provide an excellent clinical basis for disease diagnosis and individualized treatment of patients.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and possible mechanisms of Xianglian Huazhuo Granules （香连化浊颗粒， XHG） in the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia. MethodsA total of 140 patients with chronic atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group， with 70 cases in each group. The treatment group received 12.5 g of XHG orally， twice daily. The control group received 12.5 g of placebo orally， twice daily. Both groups were treated for 6 months. The traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） symptom scores， pathological types， serum tumor markers of the digestive system， and serum bile acids （TBA）， interleukin-23 （IL-23）， and Dickkopf-related protein 1 （DKK-1） levels were observed before and after treatment. Safety indicators and adverse events were recorded. After treatment， TCM syndrome efficacy and pathological types were evaluated， and patients were followed up for 18 months with gastric endoscopy and pathological results， which were compared with the results after treatment finished. ResultsTwo patients dropped out in the control group， and a total of 168 cases were included in the final analysis， 70 in the treatment group and 68 in the control group. The treatment group showed a significant reduction in TCM symptom scores， serum TBA， IL-23， and DKK-1 levels， and a significant increase in alpha-fetoprotein （AFP）， carbohydrate antigen 125 （CA125）， carbohydrate antigen 199 （CA199） levels； in the control group， carcinoembryonic antigen （CEA）， CA125， CA199 levels significantly increased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）； and carbohydrate antigen 242 （CA242） level in both the treatment group and the control group decreased significantly （P＜0.01）. The treatment group had lower TCM symptom scores and lower levels of serum TBA， IL-23， and DKK-1 compared to the control group （P＜0.05）. The effective rate for TCM syndrome efficacy in the treatment group was 80.00% （56/70）， significantly higher than the 20.59% （14/68） in the control group （P < 0.05）. The effective rate for pathological classification in the treatment group was 72.73% （8/11） for mixed intestinal metaplasia， significantly better than 46.15% （6/13） in the control group （P＜0.05）. No adverse events were reported in either group. Among 40 patients who had a follow-up endoscopy after one year， 21 were from the treatment group， of whom 11 showed reduced intestinal metaplasia， 9 showed no significant changes， and 1 had worsened； while 19 patients in the control group had 4 with reduced intestinal metaplasia， 13 with no significant changes， and 2 with worsened conditions. No cancer was detected in either group. The treatment group showed significantly better improvement in intestinal metaplasia on follow-up gastric endoscopy pathology than the control group （P＜0.05）. ConclusionXHG can significantly improve the clinical symptoms in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia and reduce the degree of mixed intestinal metaplasia. The mechanism may involve lowering serum TBA， DKK-1， and IL-23 levles， thus delaying the progression from inflammation to cancer.

Objective To study the death status of pancreatic cancer among residents in Xuhui district, Shanghai, from 1992 to 2021, and analyze its trends of change, so as to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of pancreatic cancer. Methods Based on the database of Shanghai death registration system from 1992 to 2021, the crude mortality rate, standardized mortality rate, age-specific mortality rate and other indicators of pancreatic cancer among registered residents in Xuhui district were calculated. The Joinpoint software was used to analyze the trends of average annual percent change (AAPC) of pancreatic cancer mortality rate, and the age-period-cohort model was used to analyze the age effect, period effect and birth cohort effect pairs significant changes in pancreatic cancer mortality. Results In 2021, the mortality rate of pancreatic cancer in Xuhui district, Shanghai, ranked fourth among malignant tumors, and the winning rate and world standard rate of the whole population, males and females were 8.34/100 000 (8.81/100 000, 7.98/100 000) and 7.28/100 000 (7.69/100 000, 6.96/100 000), respectively, with males higher than females. AAPC of crude mortality rate and the standardized (6) mortality rate were higher in males than that in females. The age-specific mortality rate increased with the increase of age, and the highest mortality rate was found in 60-84 years old group. The age-period-cohort model showed that from 1992 to 2021, the annual net shift of pancreatic cancer mortality among the whole population, male and female residents in Xuhui district, Shanghai, was 1.22%, 1.58%, 1.15% (P=0.20, 0.19, 0.45) respectively, and the time trend was not significant. From the perspective of age effect, the risk of death from pancreatic cancer in the whole population and with age deviation in males had an obvious trend with increasing age (P<0.05), while the age effect in females had no obvious trend. From the perspective of period effect, no period deviation was significant in the whole population, males and females (P>0.05). In terms of cohort effects, there were significant differences in the whole population and the male cohort deviations(P<0.05). No significant cohort effect was observed in the female population. Conclusions The mortality rate of pancreatic cancer among registered residents in Xuhui district, Shanghai from 1992 to 2021, was on the rise, especially in the 60-84 years old group and male. The prevention and control of pancreatic cancer needs to develop effective epidemic prevention measures for corresponding populations.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL).Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. Clinical data of patients diagnosed with T-LBL at the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2013 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, and their clinical characteristics and prognosis were statistically analyzed.Results:A total of 22 T-LBL patients were included. Among them, there were 19 males (86.4%) and 3 females (13.6%), and the median age at onset was 19.5 (15, 28) years old. Based on Ann Arbor staging, 3 cases (13.6%) were classified as stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ, while 19 cases (86.4%) were stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ; 10 cases (45.5%) presented with B symptoms, 12 cases (54.5%) without B symptoms; 16 cases (72.7%) showed elevated lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) level. At onset, 7 patients (31.8%) had mediastinal masses, 3 patients (13.6%) had central nervous system involvement, and 17 patients (77.3%) had bone marrow involvement. The overall response rate (ORR) and complete remission rate among the 22 patients were 81.82% (18/22) and 31.82% (7/22), respectively. The ORR was 84.21% (16/19) in 19 patients treated with ALL-like regimens. Among 3 patients treated with NHL-like regimens, 1 case achieved complete remission and 1 case achieved partial remission. Seven patients received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, with a median overall survival (OS) time of 22 months; the median OS time of patients without allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was 14 months. The 3-year OS rates in the allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation group and group without allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were 64.30% and 16.00%, and the difference in OS between the two groups was statistically significant ( P = 0.043). Two patients with disease progression prior to transplantation died of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections after transplantation. Conclusions:T-LBL is rare, and it is a highly aggressive tumor that predominantly occurs in adolescent males. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can prolong OS, reduce relapse and improve the prognosis of patients.

The nucleotide binding oligomerization domain like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)inflamma-some is an intracellular polymeric protein complex that plays an important role in inflammation and immune response.In recent years,the study of NLRP3 inflammasome in hematological malignancies has become a hot topic.Leukemia is a large group of clonal hematologic malignancies that affect the maturation and/or prolifer-ation of bone marrow or lymphocytes.More and more studies have shown that NLRP3 inflammatory micro-molecules are involved in the occurrence and development of leukemia,and it is expected to become an impor-tant therapeutic target for leukemia in the future.In this review,the structure,biological function,activation pathway of NLRP3 inflammasome and its relationship with different types of leukemia were reviewed,and its potential application in the treatment of leukemia was discussed.

Alzheimer's disease(AD)is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that severely affects the quality of life of the elderly.Its main pathological features include the deposition of β-amyloid protein to form senile plaques,neurofibrillary tangles caused by abnormal phosphorylation of tau pro-tein,as well as extensive neuronal loss and synaptic dysfunction.In recent years,mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)and their exosomes(MSC-Exos)have attracted extensive attention due to their poten-tial in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.MSCs possess multidirectional differentiation po-tential,immunomodulatory capacity,and significant neuroprotective and repair effects.As an impor-tant signaling mediator of MSCs,MSC-Exos are a type of nanoscale double-layer membrane-structured vesicles secreted by MSCs,capable of carrying and delivering various bioactive substances.MSCs and their derived MSC-Exos have demonstrated good safety and efficacy in the treatment of AD.This arti-cle systematically reviewed the basic and translational research progress on MSCs and MSC-Exos in the treatment of AD in recent years.

Acceleration of tooth movement during orthodontic treatment is challenging,with osteoclast-mediated bone resorption on the compressive side being the rate-limiting step.Recent studies have demonstrated that mechanoreceptors on the surface of monocytes/macrophages,especially adhesion G protein-coupled receptors(aGPCRs),play important roles in force sensing.However,its role in the regulation of osteoclast differentiation remains unclear.Herein,through single-cell analysis,we revealed that CD97,a novel mechanosensitive aGPCR,was expressed in macrophages.Compression upregulated CD97 expression and inhibited osteoclast differentiation;while knockdown of CD97 partially rescued osteoclast differentiation.It suggests that CD97 may be an important mechanosensitive receptor during osteoclast differentiation.RNA sequencing analysis showed that the Rap1a/ERK signalling pathway mediates the effects of CD97 on osteoclast differentiation under compression.Consistently,we clarified that administration of the Rap1a inhibitor GGTI298 increased osteoclast activity,thereby accelerating tooth movement.In conclusion,our results indicate that CD97 suppresses osteoclast differentiation through the Rap1a/ERK signalling pathway under orthodontic compressive force.

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.
