ObjectiveThis paper used the AGREE Ⅱ guideline evaluation tool to evaluate the quality of 14 clinical guidelines for acute myocardial infarction,aiming to provide reference for the formulation and improvement of the guidelines. MethodsClinical guidelines and expert consensus related to acute myocardial infarction were searched by web search. The search period ranges from January 1,2019 to November 1,2024 in CNKI,VIP,Wanfang Data,SinoMed,Web of Science,OVID, the International Guidelines Collaboration Network (GIN),the UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE),Yimaitong, and other platforms. Three researchers independently screened the literature and used AGREE Ⅱ to score the screening results. After ensuring that the researchers have a consistent understanding of each guideline,the quality of the guidelines was evaluated. After that,the ratings were analyzed by layer according to the issuing agency,category,method of formulation,and funding situation and compared longitudinally by rating time. The clinical guidelines and expert consensus were compared in terms of content and evidence. ResultsA total of 14 guidelines and consensus were included. The results of AGREE Ⅱ in the six areas in descending order were scope and purpose (62.82%±10.43%),rigor (62.40%±12.77%),editorial independence (62.11%±22.26%),participants (61.42%±11.65%),clarity of expression (59.98%±9.62%),and application (52.94%±16.90%) . Eleven of the guidelines were at level B, and three were at level A. In the stratified analysis,the score of the guideline formulated by the Chinese Medical Doctor Association was lower. There was little difference between the scores of Chinese/Western and Western medicine guidelines. The average score of the guidelines was higher than the consensus. Funded guidelines and consensus scores were higher. In the longitudinal comparison,the highest number of guidelines were developed in 2020 and 2021,while those developed in 2023 scored the highest. In the differential comparison analysis,the content of the guidelines was more comprehensive, and the evidence level was higher,while the content of the consensus was more novel, and the evidence was less. ConclusionThe AGREE Ⅱ score of the clinical guidelines for acute myocardial infarction is generally moderate,and there is room for improvement in terms of applicability. At the same time,the content quality of expert consensus should be improved,and more efforts should be made to develop and apply Chinese medicine guidelines for complications such as heart failure and microcirculatory obstruction after acute myocardial infarction.

BACKGROUND:
One of the most important treatment modalities for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is immune checkpoint inhibitor. Nevertheless, a small percentage of patients do not respond well to these therapies, highlighting the significance of identifying important CD8+ T cell subsets for immunotherapy and creating trustworthy biomarkers. The purpose of this study is to assess the potential utility of TIM3+CD8+ T cells as new biomarkers by examining their expressions in various areas of the NSCLC tumor microenvironment.
METHODS:
Based on biopsy techniques, tumor tissue samples were obtained from patients with NSCLC and categorized into tumor central and non-central regions. Using flow cytometry, the infiltration of TIM3+CD8+ T cells and the surface expression of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) on these cells were examined, and their correlations with the effectiveness of immunotherapy were assessed.
RESULTS:
The non-central region of tumor tissues had considerably larger infiltration of TIM3+CD8+ T lymphocytes compared to the non-central region (P<0.0001). This pattern was found in both subgroups with tumor diameters ≥3 cm or <3 cm (P<0.01). In comparison to TIM3-CD8+ T cells, TIM3+CD8+ T cells showed higher levels of PD-1 (P<0.001), with more PD-1+TIM3+CD8+ T cells invading the non-central region (P<0.01). Clinical responders to immunotherapy had considerably lower infiltration levels of TIM3+CD8+ T cells in the tumor non-central region compared to non-responders, with lower levels correlated with better clinical outcomes (P<0.01), while no correlation was identified in the tumor central region (P>0.05). According to reciever operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, TIM3+CD8+ T cells in the tumor non-central region had an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.9375 for predicting the effectiveness of immunotherapy, which was considerably higher than that of TIM3+CD8+ T cells in the tumor central region and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) [tumor proportion score (TPS)].
CONCLUSIONS
In the tumor microenvironment of NSCLC, TIM3+CD8+ T cells show regional distribution patterns. The expression of this cell population in the non-central region of the tumor microenvironment may be a biomarker for predicting the effectiveness of immunotherapy.

The famous veteran doctors of traditional Chinese medicine ( TCM ) are models to combine TCM the-ories , previous practitioners' clinical experiences with current medical practice for the difficult to solve clinical problems . The selection of appropriate inheritance study method is especially important in the learning of fa-mous veteran doctors of TCM . This article discussed the inheritance method of academic experiences of famous veteran doctor of TCM professor Huang Yongsheng from four aspects, which were the reading of classic books, clinical practice, following medical masters, and summarization of clinical cases. It was hoped that during the inheritance process , efforts can be made to academic characteristics of TCM itself in accordance with its own law in order to create more and better clinical experience inheritance method.

The overall concept is the core theory of traditional Chinese medicine ( TCM ) diagnosis and treat-ment system. During the process of building TCM effect evaluation on coronary heart disease (CHD), with the defined connotation and extension of heart diseases , except the consideration on its clinical symptoms , TCM four diagnosis and various current modern cardiovascular disease diagnostic methods should be organically com-bined according to the original macro basis . The micro quantitative evaluation is given on therapeutic effect of disease treatment in order to construct the complete TCM effect evaluation system.
